What better way to wrap up your GSE UK experience for 2023 than to hear about z/VM and Linux? Your speaker will give a brief update on z/VM Express System Installation, a way to rapidly deploy a z/VM system with extras, before sharing some observations from IBM Z and LinuxONE projects he has worked on over the last few years. Among other things, we will discuss some of virtualisation's rules, "and when to break them". So come along and stock up on z/VM and Linux goodness for your journey home!
