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?
