As we head into fall, Cloud Foundry Foundation is focused on preparing for the quickly-approaching Summit in Basel. I hope to see you there, so please don’t forget to register before September 7th to take advantage of the discount.
This summer has seen me travel extensively across the globe. I recently returned from a trip to Japan, where I gave a keynote address at OpenStack Days Tokyo and spent time with our Cloud Foundry user community and many startups there. Throughout these conversations, the themes of digitization and a cloud-native future came up repeatedly.
