As an observer, I reckon IBM are forced to use OpenShift because they've got to get RedHat in there. Also, since everyone knows the word Docker now, the Z "has to have it". Surely the industry is now waking up to the mess that is the Kubernetes ecoystem mgmt., service MESS.
I do wonder... for those who thought setting up zOSMF RACF was painful, what their journey will be for zCX and OpenShift. Just saying, "it's free because zIIP" doesn't make it good. No Ferrari owner should be "compelled" to use a unicycle's wheel just because it's free. IMHO, "Me too" solutions are seriously ruining the reputation of the Z with the ridiculous CPU, memory, storage requirements. I thought it was ridiculous that RDz wanted a few gigabytes of memory for the JVM. Rebadged oldware, with web stack & interface from early 2010s, are now coming to compete with Chrome, in their lust for memory and such. - KB ------- Original Message ------- On Thursday, April 21st, 2022 at 4:22 AM, Tony Harminc <t...@harminc.net> wrote: > On Wed, 20 Apr 2022 at 18:00, Robert Garrett rob...@garrettfamily.us wrote: > > [...] > > > It likes a LOT of real memory and it appears that the running instance > > consumes the full amount of real memory allocated to it for the duration, > > making it unavailable to zOS for paging or any other use.
