A Tour of Open Source on the Mainframe

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Mainframes run Linux on the S390X architecture with decades of ports (Ubuntu support since 2016, SUSE/RHEL earlier), machines with hundreds of cores and tens of terabytes of RAM, and integrated crypto/HSM acceleration used directly via OpenSSL and dm-crypt. There are Zowe APIs and Feilong connectors, Ansible for z/OS automation and Jenkins CI integrations, and a Linux One Community Cloud (120 days free VM) for building and testing real S390X images.
