Support for proprietary application containers like WebSphere is not included in Alfresco Community Edition. Our paid product, Alfresco Content Services, does include this support.

Alfresco Content Services or Alfresco Community Edition can be deployed as a service in a CloudFoundry environment. We do not currently provide a service broker API definition, but it isn't hard to make one. In the future, as Alfresco Content Services moves toward containerized deployment, it should get even easier to manage it within a Cloud Foundry environment (CloudFoundry support for Kubernetes containers is rapidly improving).

We are evaluating whether we should provide an official service broker definition. We would like to know if people think it would be useful to also support ACS as a CloudFoundry managed application.
