Businesses demand digital transformation and services with agility and speed. It cannot be achieved without cloud , modern applications and DevOps.
IBM Z is part of your journey to hybrid multi cloud
One cloud does not fit all. You choose multiple cloud providers and platforms to meet specific needs and want the flexibility to run workloads across those platforms. Therefore, hybrid multi cloud emerges as a new IT architecture, which lets you run workloads on private cloud, public cloud, and on-premises. However, not all workloads fit cloud due to compliance and security and other factors. This is how IBM Z
®, the most secure, reliable, and high-performing platform, comes into play. You can leverage your investments in IBM Z and integrate it into your hybrid multi cloud ecosystem with Red Hat® OpenShift® that is a platform that can be portable across on-premises and clouds.
IBM® Wazi Developer for Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces (IBM Wazi Developer), a cloud native z/OS® development solution optimized for Red Hat OpenShift, lets you integrate z/OS development into hybrid multi cloud with consistent management. With IBM Wazi Developer, you can debug, code, build, test, and deploy z/OS applications on Red Hat OpenShift, just like what you do for the applications running on other platforms.
z/OS applications also need modernization
With you moving to cloud, application modernization is becoming a priority. z/OS applications also need modernization to accelerate time to market through cloud native development. IBM Wazi Developer enables you to develop and deliver cloud native z/OS applications with the modern IDE of your choice on Red Hat OpenShift. With IBM Wazi Developer, you can:
- Self-provision a z/OS sandbox environment for development and test.
- Choose the IDE of your choice: CodeReady Workspaces, VS Code, or Eclipse to debug and code z/OS applications.
- Build, test, and deploy your z/OS application with a CI/CD pipeline.
Used in conjunction with IBM Cloud Pak® for Applications, which provides a hybrid multi cloud foundation built on open standards, you can rapidly set up and build cloud native z/OS applications with its built-in developer tools and processes.
Embrace modern DevOps
Hybrid multi cloud and application modernization force you to reexamine your DevOps. As you are using new architectures, platforms, and tools, your continuous delivery pipeline and toolchain should change accordingly. IBM Wazi Developer is a cloud native Z DevOps solution optimized for OpenShift that can run on any clouds and on-premises. It integrates open source and modern technologies, for instance, Zowe™ to interact with z/OS resources, modern SCM – Git to manage source code, Jenkins to facilitate continuous integration and delivery, and other tools that you need to develop cloud native z/OS applications.
