Stream: MQ & AppDev II
Time: 16:30 - 17:15
One of the strengths of Red Hat OpenShift is that it can run across a number of hardware architectures, including IBM Z and LinuxONE.
With OpenShift 4.15, we now have the ability to mix architectures in the complete layer -- we can have x86 and IBM Z compute nodes in the same cluster.
This introduces some powerful capabilities for managing cross-platform applications with ease.
Your speakers are experienced practitioners in OpenShift on IBM Z and LinuxONE, and are leading the charge in promoting multi-architecture-compute.
They will present how multi-architecture-compute can be deployed, and provide scenarios for simplifying application deployment and management. There may also be a demo!
