IBM are also providing hardware and engineering to get Cloud Foundry running on POWER8.
I work for Pivotal, we donate the majority of engineering on CF, but IBM is the next biggest contributor. They've started assigning engineers to work alongside multiple teams on porting to POWER8 and have started setting up test clusters as well.
Just this week I was in a remote tri-pairing session with an IBM engineer working on getting our buildpacks pipelines[0] running on POWER8.

I personally can't wait to see how it performs.
