These hints are up to now provided as javadoc like comments at the call method for cloudFoundryDeploy step. At that level they are not taken into account by the go generator. Is is not a suitable approach to include this kind of markdown docu into the long description of the metadata file since this long description is (also) used by the piper help command when invoking piper cloudFoundyDeploy --help. At that point in time markdown like text does not make sense.

Additional Hints
Deployment can be done
- in a standard way
- in a zero downtime manner (using a blue-green deployment approach)
!!! note "Deployment supports multiple deployment tools" Currently the following are supported:
* Standard `cf push` and [Bluemix blue-green plugin](https://github.com/bluemixgaragelondon/cf-blue-green-deploy#how-to-use)
* [MTA CF CLI Plugin](https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/multiapps-cli-plugin)
!!! note
Due to an incompatible change in the Cloud Foundry CLI, multiple buildpacks are not supported by this step.
If your application
contains a list of buildpacks
instead a single buildpack
, this will be automatically re-written by the step when blue-green deployment is used.
!!! note
Cloud Foundry supports the deployment of multiple applications using a single manifest file.
This option is supported with Piper.
In this case define appName: ''
since the app name for the individual applications have to be defined via the manifest.
You can find details in the Cloud Foundry Documentation
