At Broadcom we announced support for K8s deployments of what I call the surround z/OS software deployment. Internally we’ve tested deployments on x86, zLinux and zCX with the latter two using OCP.
Its called WatchTower and leverages public REST APIs across the on z/OS and off z/OS products. K8s makes deployment,management and upgrades so much easier. We started with x86 as most Z shops are not ready on zLinux or zCX Cant wait for that though.
