Join this roundtable session to learn the latest approaches to integrating the mainframe into modern devops tooling and practices to accelerate delivery and drive true cross-platform applications. The panelists will discuss the challenges and opportunities that led to the creation of the Linux Foundation’s Open Mainframe Project and its Zowe initiative.  Launched last August, Zowe is the first open source project based on IBMz’s z/OS and serves as an integration platform for the next generation of tools for administration, management and development on z/OS mainframes. By utilizing new interfaces and an API mediation layer, enterprises can now more easily integrate rich mainframe resources and extend ‘API-first’ to the mainframe.
