z/OS provides a wealth of secure tools from the open-source community to enable
advanced development. In this talk we explore integrating open-source into all
aspects of application development. First we look at using Python for Artificial
Intelligence/Machine Learning, application development, and system automation.
We also look at the Go programming language and the ease with which it permits
rapid development of applications with the best security profile. Then we will
look at z/OS Open Tools, which makes available critical open source software to
the z/OS community. With z/OS Open Tools, z/OS users benefit from enhanced
functionality and security, achieved through currency with community sources.
Security is also enhanced on an ongoing basis through available vulnerability
audits. Notably, z/OS Open Tools provides critical dev-ops tools such as Git,
Vim, Bash, GNU Make, etc, supporting modern z/OS workloads, plus over 200 other
popular tools and libraries.
