zED Talks gives our audience the opportunity to hear about game changing technology in the mainframe world from talented Subject Matter Experts! Utilizing the TED Talks inspiration of “ideas worth spreading,” this webinar series gives our speakers roughly half an hour (plus some time for Q&A) to illustrate the value of a solution or concept of his or her choosing. Ever wondered how technology buzzwords like DevOps, Blockchain, or AI fit into the Z space? There’s no better place to get an initial understanding of that than right here.

This month, we will discuss z/OS Container Extensions (zCX)! What if you could build a hybrid workload consisting of native z/OS software and Linux on Z software, both running in the same z/OS image?

In this session we will provide an introduction of this exciting new feature of z/OS V2R4, z/OS Container Extensions (zCX), that allows you to deploy Linux on Z software packaged as Docker images directly inside a z/OS system using standard Docker container interfaces.  It significantly expands what you do with your z/OS systems by allowing you to deploy Linux on Z software side by side with your z/OS software and middleware while preserving a z/OS operational model and z/OS Qualities of Service.  Come hear about this exciting new capability, and interesting use cases this is enabling.

To present this month’s topic, we have Gus Kassimis and Ahilan Rajadeva:
