The platform can deliver on all of these outcomes as efficiently on day 1000 as it does on day 1.
Operators can serve
thousands of devs
within tight budget
constraints.
Operators have
choice around which
cloud to run on.
Developers reduce
waste through small
batch delivery and fast
feedback.
Operators can trust a
secure-by-default
platform that solves
their security needs
without introducing
toil.
Developers
experience the safety
to experiment and
iterate rapidly..
Operators can
provide a platform that
meets their scale
needs.
Developers can ramp
productivity linearly
with personnel.
Developers can run
applications that
handle large-scale
loads.
Operators can reason
about the stability of
the platform and
provide
well-understood SLOs.
Developers can rely
on the platform to
allow them to deliver
outcomes with low
volatility.
Operators can
efficiently manage the
platform and onboard
new teams.
Developers can
iterate on delivering
consumer value
rapidly.

Hmm, that’s not really
possible. I could use
service keys and
user-provided services,
but that’s pretty
insecure...

Awesome!
Thanks! :)

Steeltoe 2.1: Microservices Patterns for .NET
.NET app metrics are exported to the Firehose using
Metrics Forwarder, just like Spring Boot apps.
Metrics are viewable with PCF Metrics 1.4, 1.5, and other
3rd parties.
.NET Distributed tracing is compatible with Spring Cloud
Sleuth & 1st class OpenCensus support.
ASP.NET 4.x apps can now interoperate with SSO & UAA.

Operators can control how verification checks can be overridden. This is useful for
experienced users that don’t want waste time slogging through potential issues.
• Advanced operators can decide which verifiers they care about.
• API only
• We recommend that operators contact support when they want to turn off a
verifier.

Building redundancy at the AZ level for on-prem deployments is now much easier.
Why? Because Ops Manager now allows you to configure multiple OpenStack
data centers to a single BOSH Director.
(NOTE: This features is not recommended for use with regions, where data centers
are physically hundreds of miles apart.)

Mutual TLS App Identity Verification

Mutual TLS App Identity Verification
PAS 2.3 allows operators to make sure that only the Gorouters can communicate
with app containers.
• Prevents other anonymous clients on the IaaS network from even sending
requests to apps.
• App containers now also verify the Gorouter clients in the TLS communication
mode introduced in PAS 2.1.
• Does not affect container-to-container communication
• Opt-in mode: not currently compatible with TCP routing or CF SSH
