To clarify, you are mentioning Rocket Terminal Emulator Web (TE Web), which serves as a Node.js-based backend application, offering a web-based user interface. I personally use it on my Mac and have found it to be superior to other alternatives.
If you intend to set up zCX for high availability, it would involve running zCX instances on different LPARs. To achieve this, you'll likely need Docker Swarm for creating a cluster that operates across multiple nodes. While OpenShift (Kubernetes) is a more advanced option, it comes with much higher operational costs in terms of resource usage. OpenShift 4.13 offers incremental improvements, we've been told it's expected that further enhancements will be introduced over time. TE Web can be deployed on z/OS UNIX without issues, but I assume your goal is to leverage zCX for offloading to zIIP engines. In our case, we deploy our TE Web cluster on x86 Linux VMs, although the best choice may depend on your IT infrastructure and relationships with distributed teams. For any zCX-related inquiries, I recommend joining the System Z Enthusiasts Discord channel, where you can connect with IBM experts who have experience working on zCX and engage in discussions on this topic.
