The customer has to provide the host Linux environment. The images will vary depending on where you sourced your images. There is no magic on creating the customized environments. Someone needs to define the resources (IMS, tables, load modules,...). This could be the system programmer or the developer or tester.
Think of it more as a pipeline where the each person does their part DBA theirs, etc.). Once you have the flavor of what you want you can copy the volumes for each user’s instance. Ideally you’ll have automation to recreate them. There are a set of tools as part of ZD&T that can assist I believe there is docker support as an alternative to running heavier weight VMs. Docket is interesting as it allows you to amortize the base image cost across multiple instances Matt Hogstrom +1 (919) 656-0564 > On Oct 11, 2019, at 08:42, scott Ford <idfli...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Frank: > > We are in Partnerworld , this one is new to me .
