Short journey through the CF history. We'll start in the early days of Twitter & Google, then briefly touch the first AWS Grails automation toolset, and explain how to merge Spring, VSphere and big-data into a single piece of technology. Along the way we'll decipher lots of TLA (three-letter-acronyms) and ETLA (extended TLA) such as VCAP, DEA and EMC.
