By combining the power of IBM Z and the strength of the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform, the IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack delivers a modern, managed as-a-service model to complement customer production workloads (see: IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack for further information).
The IBM z/OS Cloud Broker (see: Automating z/OS resources provisioning (z/OS Cloud Broker) for further information) is included in the stack to allow:
The IBM Z and Cloud Modernization Stack - MQ Resources Operator Collection is implemented as an operator in IBM z/OS Cloud Broker. It allows the creation and deletion of:
on z/OS Endpoints (defined using IBM z/OS Cloud Broker) from the Red Hat OpenShift Console:
The collection consists of a set of sample Variable files and Ansible Playbooks that perform the create or delete action for the respective MQ resource.The playbooks build IBM MQ Script Commands (MQSC) to DEFINE or DELETE resources and issue the commands to an Endpoint that maps to a z/OS Subsystem on which the target IBM MQ for z/OS Queue Manager is running.
In general, users of the IBM MQ Resources Operator Collection do not need to be too concerned about the playbook files as they are run when deploying resources.
It is important to note though that the files and playbooks are provided as samples and, like some other MQ samples, they are currently notofficially supported by the MQ Service Team. However, effort will be made to respond to or address any issues encountered in good time. It is worthtrying out this function so that you can see just how easy it is to define IBM MQ for z/OS resources without the need for deep knowledge of z/OS.
See: zos_mq_operator for further information.
