    Hello,
    Over the past year there have been several product announcements within the AIOps theme.  I think it would be helpful to get a 'big-picture' view of zAIOps, what features various products bring and a roadmap.  For example what do these products contribute today, roadmap for tomorrow and what is the reference architecture in implementing these products as part of an AIOps solution for Operational Resiliency:
    • Service Management Unite
    • Service Management Explorer (replaces TEP)
    • zChatops / use of MS-TEAMS to create a Digital War room
    • Zowe and REST support
    • Omegamons, Netview, SA, others.....

    Are there plans to create a zTrial for configuring or using a demo of these products?
