+
+> Introduced in [GitLab Premium][eep] 8.2.
+
+Easily deploy GitLab as a pre-configured appliance using Ops Manager (BOSH) for
+[Pivotal Cloud Foundry][pcf].
+
+## Overview
+
+Enterprise admins want their development toolkit to be more customizable, more
+integrated, and more secure. With Pivotal Cloud Foundry, GitLab is installed and
+scales easily in a highly available environment.
+
+The upgrades are pain-free and well tested. All it takes is upload the new tile
+and click a button to begin the upgrade process.

+
+- You want a highly available deployment with minimal effort. Scale horizontally
+ as your user base grows.

+
+* PostgreSQL

+* Mattermost
+* Subgroups
+* Elasticsearch
+* Service Desk
