On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce 1.0.0.M2 releases of Spring Cloud Data Flow for Apache Mesos and Spring Cloud Data Flow for Kubernetes.

Spring Cloud Data Flow for Apache Mesos allows one to use all the goodness of Spring Cloud Data Flow (like the Shell, UI and Flo) while targeting Apache Mesos as a backend. Stream components are deployed as individual apps using Marathon, leveraging the power of the platform to handle scaling and health monitoring.

This second milestone

• Builds upon 1.0.0.M1 release of the Spring Cloud Deployer Mesos/Marathon implementation
• Builds upon 1.0.0.M3 release of Spring Cloud Data Flow
• Replaces spring-cloud-marathon-connector with environment variables for service connection parameters. We will improve the service discovery in future release and tie in to Mesos/Marathon’s native service discovery mechanism for runtime credentials
• Adds support to resolve, register, and run OOTB and custom apps as docker images

We are pleased to announce the release of Spring Cloud Task 1.0.0.M2. This is the second milestone of the Spring Cloud Task project with some exciting new features!

What's New?

With the M1 release of Spring Cloud Task, we introduced the concept of a task, the @EnableTask annotation, and the general concept of a microservice that has an end. We've been quite busy since then. Some of the highlights of what is new include:

I am pleased to announce that Spring Integration 4.3.0.M2 is now available from the Spring milestone repository. This release closes about 50 JIRAs and includes almost a 100 commits.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Especially to the Spring Cloud Stream team, whose comprehensive Spring Integration usage influences the project direction.

When running in a web container, the @EnableIntegrationGraphController annotation, together with an IntegrationGraphServer bean, creates a service to retrieve the model and state over the REST protocol, e.g. in JSON notation:
