I was thinking of zCX as hosting containers The process for deploying virtual machines in z/VM is different although it also eliminates manual setup that used to be necessary.
i was trying to illustrated that the automation of deployment was not limited to the cloud. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Just checking: are you considering a z/VM VM (z/VM??) a container? I wouldn't argue with that, just checking. Anyway, it's.different. While z/VM has the "pool" concept, it's not quite the same as "just fire up another container". But at not-too-high an altitude, I'd say they were very much the same. Acourse the IBM zSystems MIPS are still more expensive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
