Honestly, it just works. I can do a docker image that runs on aarch64, amd64, and s390x. For the SpringBoot apps - the hardware is rock solid and far more important, cheaper and under provisioned than the other 'standard' compute for those who have piles of legacy systems. OpenShift on zSeries is not a lot different than Intel based boxes.

Yeah, that all makes sense. Is it just big financial instututions that doing this? I can't go to IBM Cloud and kick off some S390x VMs, can I?

  If you have an enterprise deal I think you can.

  You can indeed get S390X VMs from IBM cloud, either running z/OS or Linux: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-vs-profiles&interface=ui https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vpc?topic=vpc-vs-profiles&interfa...

  Open Source maintainers can ask for a) ssh access to s390x VM b) web console access where it's possible to create and remove VMs, for example 2 VMs, 8 GB RAM per VM With some distro like RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu. One mainframe runs very many VMs. All access is monitored.

    Is this the LinuxONE Community Cloud, or a different resource?
