In the IBM world, we don't look for solutions that don't have a problem. So you
believe some random person should decide to look at a product and then find a
problem that it can solve.
Kubernettes proves why allowing random people is a waste of time and money.
Businesses work from top down and the results will be ignored because it's not
a priority. 2 man-weeks ($3,000) and z/OS ($5,000) with no benefit.
Unix programmers have API's for everything. z/OS has hidden API's and concepts
that the random programmer doesn't understand. They don't understand the
important impact of a 200 CPU z machine and how Kubernettes can play an
important role. They don't understand the role of multi-platforms. They may
learn the container concept but won't understand the role that makes it
important. They don't understand that they could have tested on an inexpensive
PC.
z/OS is about what the average person does not see. For example, why is JCL
important? Why is JES2 important? Why is VSAM important? Unix programmers are
dealing with simple OS concepts that do very little. Ask yourself, over the
last 30 years, what has changed in reading / writing a simple file and how many
pages are needed for documentation. z/OS is now up to 50 manuals yet the
concepts for the average programmer has changed very little.

How did the business learn that Kubernettes could meet business needs,
much less decide that is what the business wanted to do without first
testing / evaluating it?
That initial testing of Kubernettes is the very type of testing that I'm
talking about.
