This session will expose the secrets of z/VM for amazing tricks Linux can do nowhere else. z/VM is the original personal computer and more powerful than any other hypervisor. Linux is the one truly open source Unix-like system and more flexible than all else. Together they serve everyone from hobbyist or student to Fortune 100 enterprise. This session will discuss and demonstrate building from source, shared disk, immutable systems, and extreme customization.

The CITI LinuxONE team was asked to provide encrypted Mongo database to meet PCI-DSS global requirments. Using zVM and custom built processes we were able to deploy hundreds of LUKS based filesystems
Mainframe operating systems produce A LOT of performance data. It isn't enough to look at screens and reports anymore. Data can be delivered to InfluxDB and Prometheus for use with new visualization tools like Grafana. These tools are becoming more and more important for data display. We will show how these tools can be integrated into your existing performance management landscape. Sending data to Open Telemetry will also be discussed and how it integrates with Prometheus.
You may know GetShopz as a CMS utility that simplifies and secures the transfer of z/VM service from IBM Shopz and IBM ServiceLink to a z/VM system. New in the latest release, GetShopz dramatically speeds up second-level installation and upgrade by accelerating the transfer and decompression of installation media ZIP files. We will step through existing and brand-new workflows to benefit both new and experienced users of GetShopz.
