Cloud foundry across multiple locations

Question

If I have two servers. One in the USA and one in Europe. How would I use Cloudfoundry on those?

Do I simply deploy a single Cloud Foundry Instance on those two servers? Am I able to push an app to a specific server? (say I want two instances in Europe and one in the US) And will CF then redirect requests from different locations to the nearest server?

If I was to set up two different CF Instances, (One in the US and one in Europe), would they be able to cooperate?

Answer 1

This is possible, you can search for "Cloud Foundry multiple datacenters" or other such terms to see how different users have implemented this. One good starting resource is this presentation. There are all sorts of trade-offs to be made when doing such a setup, so there is not just a single solution. Also, this proposal will bring one particular solution into the core of OSS CF.
