PCF Highlights

PCF Healthwatch 1.4: Adds a more extensible UI to help operators
understand the operational health of their platform across a variety
of sources Rapid Capacity Expansion Across Data Centers: Operators
can now extend a single PCF deployment across multiple data center
locations. This helps enterprises increase redundancy at the
availability zone level for on-prem deployments with VMware vSphere
and now OpenStack. Embedded OS Updates: Pivotal has updated the
operating systems that underpin PAS (Ubuntu 16.04) and PAS for
Windows (Windows Server v1803) deployments. This helps keep systems
running smoothly, and offloads the burden of OS management.
