z/OS Management Facility workflows for zCX for OpenShift

IBM z/OS Containers (zCX) for OpenShift (zCX for OpenShift) appliance instances are provisioned and managed through z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) workflows, which guide system administrators and automate processes. Once a zCX for OpenShift cluster is provisioned, users and application developers can operate within it as they would in any other Red Hat OpenShift environment.

z/OSMF must be active in a system on the sysplex where you are deploying a zCX for OpenShift cluster. All systems in this sysplex must be defined in z/OSMF. To define a system in z/OSMF, use Systems Option in z/OSMF Settings. To provision zCX for OpenShift cluster node instances, a user must have access to both z/OSMF and z/OSMF workflows.

If you do not yet have z/OSMF configured on your system, refer to z/OSMF Configuration Guide.
