Pivotal CF 1.1 on VMware vSphere: Making it Easier for Developers to Build and Deploy Modern Applications Using Platform as a Service

In Q4, 2013, Pivotal CF 1.0 was made available to customers and the vSphere team announced that VMware will begin resell of Pivotal CF. Pivotal CF is the commercially supported hybrid Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) based on the Cloud Foundry platform and optimized to run on VMware vSphere. It provides a turnkey PaaS experience for development teams to rapidly develop, update and grow applications dynamically on a private cloud allowing enterprises to operate at Internet scale for continuous delivery.

I am excited to announce the 1.1 release of Pivotal CF. With Pivotal CF 1.1, customers can utilize useful improvements to version 1.0 such as improved developer debugging, buildpack administration, higher availability and simple experience for adding new services through the service broker.
