Thanks for pointing that out. I've fixed the link now.

Can I build-test Cloud Foundry on vSphere private cloud?
If not now, when will it happen?
I am exploring this as an alternative of migrating to VMWare cloud instead of JBoss 5.x.

Cloud Foundry is built upon the open source Cloud Tools, which provides infrastructure and provisioning services into cloud environments. Cloud Tools recently received adapter code commit from Steve Jin to enable Cloud Tools to function in a vSphere environment (http://blog.springsource.com/2009/12/08/3537/). However, Cloud Foundry is definitely purpose built for Amazon AWS and is closed source. Therefore, you can definitely build and test Cloud Tools on vSphere using the command line or build targets, but porting Clound Foundry would not be available in the near future. However, we are diligently investigating bringing functionality similar to Cloud Foundry to the VMware environment. When we have better clarity on product definition and schedule, then we will share that here with users of Cloud Foundry. Thanks.
