Duration in Hours ⌚

Content Description

z/OS Container Extensions is an exciting new capability that is delivered as part of IBM z/OS V2R4. It is designed to enable the ability to run almost any Docker container that can run on Linux on IBM Z in a z/OS environment alongside existing z/OS applications and data without a separate provisioned Linux server. This extends the strategic software stack on z/OS as developers can build new, containerized applications, by using Docker and Linux skills and patterns, and deploy them on z/OS, without requiring any z/OS skills. In turn, data centers can operate popular open source packages, Linux applications, IBM software, and third-party software together with z/OS applications and data, leveraging industry standard skills.
