+# Cloud Foundry Support
+
+Spring Boot Actuator includes additional support when you deploy to a compatible Cloud Foundry instance. The `/cloudfoundryapplication` path provides an alternative secured route to all `@Endpoint` beans.
+
+## Cloud Foundry Configuration
+
+When running on Cloud Foundry, Spring Boot automatically configures:
+
+- Cloud Foundry-specific health indicators
+- Cloud Foundry application information
+- Secure endpoint access through Cloud Foundry's security model
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```yaml
+management:
+  cloudfoundry:
+    enabled: true
+  endpoints:
+    web:
+      exposure:
+        include: "*"
+```
+
+### Cloud Foundry Health
+
+```java
+@Component
+public class CloudFoundryHealthIndicator implements HealthIndicator {
+
+    @Override
+    public Health health() {
+        // Cloud Foundry specific health checks
+        return Health.up()
+            .withDetail("cloud-foundry", "available")
+            .withDetail("instance-index", System.getenv("CF_INSTANCE_INDEX"))
+            .withDetail("application-id", System.getenv("VCAP_APPLICATION"))
+            .build();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Security**: Use Cloud Foundry's built-in security for actuator endpoints
+2. **Service Binding**: Leverage VCAP_SERVICES for automatic configuration
+3. **Health Checks**: Configure appropriate health endpoints for load balancer checks
+4. **Metrics**: Export metrics to Cloud Foundry monitoring systems
