IBM z/OS Cloud Broker overview

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 investments with hybrid multicloud environments and strategies.

By using z/OS Cloud Broker, cloud administrators and system programmers can expose z/OS resources in the OpenShift Container Platform catalog. Application developers can then access the z/OS resources from the catalog without needing deep mainframe expertise. In this way, z/OS Cloud Broker allows for direct interaction with z/OS resources, and it empowers developers 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.
