The IBM z/OS Container Platform (IBM Program No. 5655-MC3) should be Generally Available on March 15, 2024. The full documentation should also be available on that date. I understand IBM publicly demonstrated (for the first time) the IBM z/OS Container Platform at SHARE about 12 hours ago as I write this. Any first person reports? ————— Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cybersecurity IBM Z/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
