  • Provisioning instances to a Red Hat® OpenShift® target environment is supported in the REST API

    ZD&T 13.1 REST API supports provisioning a z/OS® instance that is running on an emulated IBM Z® hardware to a Red Hat OpenShift target environment. After you create an image, you can provision an instance from the created image to a Red Hat target environment. Also, you can covert a created image to a cloud-ready image, and use the cloud-ready image to provision an instance to the Red Hat OpenShift environment.

    For more information, see Provisioning instances to a Red Hat OpenShift target environment.
