Read MorePairing on .NET Support for Diego in New York City
This past week, and from CenturyLink Cloud's PaaS team traveled to New York City. The goal of our visit was to pair with the Pivotal team adding .NET support to Diego and help define the implementation path going forward. Most of our time was spent with "The Four Daves" (David Varvel, David Morhovich, David Tengdin, and Dave Goddard) and . It was fun getting embedded in the Pivotal culture and getting to know folks in the New York City office.

On behalf of the Iron Foundry core team, I'm excited to announce the immediate availability of ironfoundry.me. This refreshed and re-launched site is now based on Cloud Foundry V2. Developers using the new ironfoundry.me site will be able to develop and deploy .NET applications onto a combined Iron Foundry/Cloud Foundry infrastructure. This abstracts away more layers of the stack from developers, so you can just focus on writing code.
