Welcome to the IBM PowerVM Development Community. We have created this medium and its companion LinkedIn Group to enable direct communications between the end user and the PowerVM development team. Our plan is to share, via blog posts, new features being delivered in the latest release of PowerVM and, based on customer questions, address frequently asked questions. Please post your inquires & questions at the LinkedIn IBM PowerVM or IBM Community Discussions


If you are interested in a blog on a specific topic, please leave a comment below with details.
