> I think K8s is the USS of yesteryear Sad noises... I would like to see zOS native containers integrated directly to WLM instead. WLM is literally the workload manager. It may not make sense for it to do everything k8s does, but could maybe do what consul or docker swarm does?
Me stomach turns seeing OpenShift inside zCX. How many layers of faking do we need? PR/SM -> (maybe) zVM -> zOS -> zCX -> container. zOS security/network configuration ... zCX security/network configuration ... OpenShift/k8s/containers security/network configuration ... contained application's security/network configuration It would be fun to see zCX "unwrapped" and presented as Linux System Services instead. Like OMVS STC is to USS, zCX-renamed could be that to LSS. - KB ------- Original Message ------- On Thursday, June 1st, 2023 at 3:57 PM, Matt Hogstrom <m...@hogstrom.org> wrote: > Similar experience.
