Timothy, I’ll wait to see more information as it becomes available. So zCX is Ubuntu Linux on z/OS, IBM has labelled Redhat Openshift as zCX-OCP, and now we have zOSCP. I like the container Ideas, but this literally sounds like z/OS Unix inside a container? I guess that surprises me, as I don’t hear about people actively coding in z/OS Unix. Or is this something else?
BTW, I am a big proponent of ZCX, and would like to see IBM move its ancillary mainframe support software into a docker container. I know TWS DWC, Omegamon TEPS, and others are moving that way. Just waiting for more to come. We are also running Rocker Terminal Emulator Webedition in ZCX to replace all of our desktop out-of-date Bluezone implementations.
