Dingo PostgreSQL v0.10 - new feature "clone from backup"

Dingo PostgreSQL is a "batteries included" service broker for Cloud Foundry that provisions dedicated highly available clusters of PostgreSQL, with continuous archiving to Amazon S3 - rather than daily backups which might be 23 hours old. Deploy it and use it and trust it will look after your data. We're super happy to release v0.10! *New feature - clone from backup* Pass the paramater "clone-from" when creating a new service instance; and its initial database will be cloned from the latest backup/WAL of an existing service instance or previously existing (deleted) service instance from the same org/space. Either clone an existing service instance: cf create-service dingo-postgresql cluster prod cf create-service dingo-postgresql cluster staging -c ' *{"clone-from":"prod"}*' Or restore an accidentally deleted database without asking your DBA: cf *delete-service* dingo-postgresql cluster prod cf create-service dingo-postgresql cluster prod -c '*{"clone-from":"prod"}*' That is, this is the Golden "Undo" function for an entire database provided by the CF CLI without any plugins. Learn more about how we jammed "undo" into the normal user workflow of Cloud Foundry at CF Summit in Frankfurt! http://sched.co/7rdh The clone-from feature also allows developers/admins to confirm that backups are working (edit prod, create a clone-from and confirm that the edit exists in the clone). Note: clone-from only works for service instances created since this feature was implemented.
