It includes government-focused sessions and training opportunities that may be useful to you and your team.
Added
- Elasticsearch version 5.6 is now available. This includes performance improvements and new features. We recommend upgrading from version 2.4 to 5.6, but we don’t have near-term plans to end support for 2.4.
- If your application involves multiple languages, and it’s not practical to split it into smaller applications, cloud.gov now has improved support for multiple buildpacks
Fixed
- Upgrade to the latest version of the CF CLI tool v6.34.1 for improvements and bug fixes.
- If you deploy Docker containers, it’s now possible to push Docker images from an Azure container registry.
