I am reading this release announcement for Spring Cloud dataflow. https://spring.io/blog/2017/02/22/spring-cloud-data-flow-for-cloud-foundry-1-1-1-maintenance-release-available
I am wondering if we need a minimum version of cloud foundry for successfully running spring cloud data applications.. Given that this stream of work is actually targeted for cloud based environments, i think they should also mention the minimum base Cloud Foundry versions that can support them.
Does this require an inter-process communication that's being made available in latest cloud foundry versions https://www.cloudfoundry.org/meet-new-container-networking-stack-cloud-foundry/ https://content.pivotal.io/blog/building-spring-microservices-with-cloud-foundrys-new-container-networking-stack
I do see the mention of PCF version compatibility for Spring Cloud Tasks http://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-dataflow-server-cloudfoundry/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#_version_compatibility
But i haven't been able to find the Base cloud foundry version that supports the features of Spring Cloud Data Flow in general or per feature compatibility breakdown with Cloud foundry versions. We are running IBM Bluemix in our company and are upgrading to the cf version that supports Deigo architecture (vs the current DEA) - don't know the exact version of CF will that be.
If we know the Spring Cloud Data flow feature compatibility with specific Cloud Foundry versions we can decide our adoption strategy accordingly.
