If you already deliver container images that support your product that

Good advice. I would also add that if you are a vendor planning to deliver zCX 
container images then make sure you add other compatibilities just in case your 
customers don't run zCX. It could be a POC obstacle.
Building the s390x containers is straight forward.  It’s the POC challenge.  
It’s like showing up with SAE tools to work on a car that is metric.  Not going 
to be very useful.

Couldn't agree more. There is a lot of excitement about zCX but you can't hang your hat on it. If you do, you may not have a viable product.
