Introduction:

Cloud Foundry Stack Auditor is a useful BTP cf CLI plug-in that allows you to manage apps and their stacks, migrate apps to new stacks, and delete stacks.
For example, a typical use for Stack Auditor is migrating a large number of apps to a new stack such as Cloud Foundry Runtime Stack Switch from cflinuxfs3 to cflinuxfs4.
