Automating z/OS resources provisioning (z/OS Cloud Broker)

IBM z/OS Cloud Broker provides access to z/OS resources and services from Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform, which enables you to integrate your z/OS infrastructure with hybrid multi-cloud environments and strategies.

By using z/OS Cloud Broker, cloud administrators and system programmers can expose z/OS resources in the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform catalog. Application developers can then access the z/OS resources from the catalog. In this way, z/OS Cloud Broker allows developers to interact directly with z/OS resources without deep mainframe expertise and to use z/OS in a cloud native way.

z/OS Cloud Broker leverages Red Hat® Ansible® automation to enable the implementation of stateful management of z/OS resources and operations through a single control plane in Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform.
