Hi all. We’ve launched a new Tutorials website to serve as a hub for learning in our community. The hub includes an interactive hands-on lab for first-time Cloud Foundry users to experience how easy the platform makes deploying applications to Kubernetes and is open for the community to contribute. Read the release.
Special thanks to Steve Greenberg at Resilient Scale for the heavy lifting to make this happen! Expect more news on this soon, and if you’re interested in contributing/feedback, please let us know.
Also, CF Summit is going virtual. Here’s the full story.
