Clean-up

💡 Note: There is a limited quota in the Cloud Foundry Environment trial account.

In case you already used the trial account quota, you have to clean-up applications and service instances prior continuing with the exercises. You can do so via cockpit:

  • navigate to the list of Applications running in your Space and delete all or stop all running applications;
  • go to the Service Instances and delete all.

[Optional] Local development environment

💡 Note: If you use the TechEd provided laptops then your local development environment tools listed below are already installed. In this case no need to install anything additional. If you are using your own laptop, then make sure you install and setup the tools listed below in case you don't have them.
