Idea: Using SCRT to report on Linux usage; maybe a way to reduce the entry level cost for Linux on Z?

2018-04-11 Thread David Boyes
Given that IBM is now allowing 3rd party vendors to use the SCRT processing 
infrastructure to collect usage data, the thought occurred to me: could this be 
used to do usage-based pricing for Linux and Linux-based applications? Some 
mapping of Linux features/functions to SMF type 70 and 89 records would have to 
be done, and the various distributors would need to register application types, 
but all the other infrastructure is there and the usage data reporting piece 
already exists for Linux (it's a Java app). 

The idea here is that if the distributors could get accurate usage data, they 
could offer usage-based pricing, which would lower the entry level for getting 
started with Linux on Z and avoid some of the sticker shock. 

Thoughts?

Are you after a maven environment where you can build spring boot apps or
a sample spring boot app?

springboot on s390x

2018-04-11 Thread PHILIP TULLY
I am being asked by our dev group if I can find a sample s390x 
Springboot application ready to deploy in our Docker engines, does 
anyone know where one exists?   I didn't see s390x and springboot in 
dockerhub.
