Editor's Notes

  • #29: Diego, our next-generation runtime, is in production and shipping as a GA product. Its being tested to 250,000 containers (!!!) and will be required in the 2017 certification. Microsoft support at multiple levels: .NET, Windows Server, Azure Cloud. The typical enterprise has a ton of .NET on Windows along with Java on Linux we will continue to make Cloud Foundry one with everything. OCI Image Format, CNI, Docker Volume Plugin, Service Broker API: Open and interoperable cloud BOSH, our platform for platforms, has just completed a set of features that make it much more powerful for multi-datacenter scale deployment of Cloud Foundry.
