Lionel B. Dyck asked: > Is this an alternative to the ZDNT Learners Edition?
No, not really. However, IBM Wazi as a Service (hourly rate) might be an alternative depending on how much you use z/OS for learning. Or you could spend a couple hours in Wazi as a Service, decide "Hey, I want to learn more," and order the ZD&T Learners Edition.

As I mentioned the general availability date is today (Friday, June 17), so that's when the documentation went live, too. The documentation tells you how it works technically: full IBM zSystems instruction set, virtualized I/O. kekronbekron wrote: >VD&T -- zOS on s390x architecture (IFL) Yes. >zD&TE -- zOS on x86_64 architecture Yes. >ADCD -- ?? This is IBM's "standard" developer-oriented distribution of z/OS and related products. The ADCD contents may vary a bit depending on which z/OS development option you choose, and you're not required to use it. Most of these offerings allow you to extract an existing z/OS image (from your own IBM zSystems machine) and use that instead if you prefer. >Wazi -- ?? IBM Wazi as a Service is essentially the IBM Cloud hosted version of the IBM Virtual Dev and Test for z/OS. It provides "on demand" service to get a z/OS instance within just a few minutes, and it's available in hourly billed increments. If you want only 1 hour, that's allowed. This offering is in limited beta right now, but IBM should have more to say about that soon. These ways of running z/OS are not mutually exclusive. — — — — — Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cybersecurity IBM zSystems/LinuxONE, Asia-Pacific sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
