    Hey Lionel,  I can do a dnf install rust on my RHEL8 machine and rustc gets installed.  What is missing on Power?  (I'm no rust expert, so I don't know if it is missing platform optimizations or anything else?)  In the community docs I see Rust is Tier 2:  https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.html.

    I'm just curious as to what the actual gap is.

    Yes,  Rust for LoP is Tie2 (Rust for AIX for now is Tie3 and we plan to make it Tie2 too in the future).  Rust for LoP uses the LLVM backend,  which has well explored Power platform, even including the latest P10.  But don't know whether any one did Rust workloads/applications' tuning on LoP.  

    Rust for LoP can be easily installed through apt.  The official installation is through https://rustup.rs/

    @Andrey Klyachkin

    Hi, Andrey,
    We are doing an Alpha program of Rust for AIX.  If you are interested,  please feel free to contact me (siyuan.zhang@cn.ibm.com),  and I am more than happy to give you access for try-out. :)

    Hi Dharmesh,

    2) Prometheus for AIX - https://www.power-devops.com/prometheus (but no node_exporter). If you need node_exporter you can use njmon + telegraf instead (https://www.power-devops.com/telegraf).

    3) golang for AIX - is available through https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-downloads-alpha

    Hi Linda,

    The packages names are not important as unique products if we know the targeted technologies and customer the Power hardware is oriented to.
    The Power and Z are not designed to target the 100% of the opensource as a competitor. / Same question for the new CPU of Amazon 
    When we know our current and future customer needs we will know what has to be ported.

    Best Regards,

    Georgi
