Title: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and ODF on Linux on IBM Z and LinuxONE: Sizing and Performance
Description: When building up a new OCP environment, various decisions have to be made regarding setup configurations. These decisions significantly influence the quality attributes and thus the sizing of the system. In this webcast, we talk about sizing OCP with respect to different architectural variants. We give examples of different design decisions and their impact on the performance behaviour of the system. Thus, the decision about the best configuration for the use case should be made easier.

Title: IBM Dynamic Partition Manager (DPM) Update and News
Description: IBM
Dynamic Partition Manager (DPM), first released with IBM z13®, is
changing the administration of the mainframe providing a simplified,
consumable, and enhanced user experience via the IBM Z Hardware
Management Console (HMC). DPM eliminates the complexity in hardware
platform management by moving the complexity from the user into the
platform and encapsulating the management of all hardware resources
through a single point of control. Smart defaults and system validation
additionally increase the user's confidence and proficiency in all
management tasks, including partition provisioning, life-cycle, and I/O
configuration. DPM significantly reduced barriers to adoption while
aligning the platform with industry standards and skills.
Besides
the management via the HMC user interface (UI), DPM allows for
end-to-end automation. Every task or action that a user can perform in
the U/I can be executed via the HMC Web Services APIs, too. The APIs
enabled key automation use cases, including resource inventory,
provisioning, monitoring, automation, and workload-based optimization
among others. Furthermore, the IBM Z HMC collection, along with sample
Ansible playbooks, provides Ansible modules that can manage platform
resources on IBM Z and LinuxONE machines.
This session shows the power of IBM Dynamic Partition Manager in action and includes the latest IBM z16 and LinuxONE 4 updates.
