* On average, creating an experimental IBM Cloud z/OS Virtual Server Instance (VSI) of a z/OS 2.4 stock image and a mz2o-2x16 VSI profile takes 1 minute and it is ready for user login (SSH) in 5.5 minutes.
Disclaimer: Measurements were done across two different IBM Cloud production sites using an experimental version of z/OS 2.4 stock image and a mz2o-2x16 VSI profile. Measurements were performed with Ansible automation based on the examples at https://github.com/ibm-hyper-protect/linuxone-vsiautomation-samples . Results may vary.
