Explore the unexpected intersection of legacy mainframe technology and modern container orchestration in this 31-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit. Discover why mainframes, despite being repeatedly declared obsolete, continue to power critical infrastructure in finance, government, and enterprise computing while now embracing Kubernetes deployment. Learn about the technical implementation of containerization on z/OS systems, examine networking configurations and workload orchestration strategies, and analyze real-world use cases where this combination proves effective. Understand the specific challenges involved in running Kubernetes on mainframe architecture, evaluate the benefits this approach offers, and determine whether integrating these technologies represents a practical solution for modern infrastructure or merely an interesting technical experiment. Gain insights into how traditional mainframe systems are adapting to support microservices architectures and contemporary development practices.
