Pivotal Cloud Foundry 1.9 out

The new version of Pivotal Cloud Foundry (“PCF” as folks like to say) is out. It has a whole slew of updates across the board.

My selective highlights:

• Google Cloud & Azure support, so you’re all multi-cloud ready (still with OpenStack, VMware, and AWS support).
• Will run 250,000 containers concurrently; in addition to scaling based on  CPU usage, you can now auto-scale on HTTP Latency and HTTP Throughput.
• Updates to Spring Cloud, Zipkin, and Spring Boot Actuators for diagnostic stuff.
• MySQL updates, esp. for multi-zone support in AWS.
• “Tasks” one time processes that are an initial cut at “serverless”
• A slew of security updates.
