How to design and implement infrastructure and automation to deliver a cloud provider experience on LinuxONE and zSystesm.

In this session, you can learn about how to use LinuxONE and zSystems architecture to implement a cloud native infrastructure using KVM virtualization, IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center, Spectrum Scale, RedHat Openshift and Instana monitoring.
We will share our company's journey to the cloud with the focus of using IBM Z architecture with the same tools/approaches we also use with public cloud, a full GitOps approach using products like Packer, Terraform, Ansible to follow the paradigm of everything as code. We aim to provide enterprise grade cloud services using the special capabilities of IBM Z architecture, such as confidential computing, encryption, AI acceleration, and flexibility.
