Stream: Open Mainframe Project
Time: 13:30 - 14:15
Plan, Build, Release, Repeat. What if every stage of the DevOps cycle could become a practical teaching module? This session explores how mentors and mentees can use Zowe and other open-source tools in a hands-on curriculum around the full DevOps lifecycle. Each phase serves as a standalone instructional unit to introduce mainframe concepts and modern tools, while building technical proficiency using DevOps principles. I’ll share insights gained from teaching both newcomers and experienced professionals how to work with DevOps in a mainframe environment. We will draw practical examples from my personal experience leading these type of workshops, integrating Zowe CLI and APIs into labs and projects, creating a learning experience that prepares students for modern enterprise environments.
