To help deliver skilled learners to the market, IBM ZXPlore free learning
environment wanted to offer both basic zVM CMS experience, as well as the
ability to create and learn the basic operations of a linux VM. We designed and
built a vendor/product agnostic process for generating a private personal linux
VM, manageable from a CMS terminal session, and internet-accessible via ssh.
This session will detail the design approach, the prototype/proof-of-concept,
and learning opportunities provided. We will show how a relatively simple
low-code nodejs application running in the Cloud coordinates the
provisioning/de-provisioning processes with SMAPI. There will also be a short
demo to show how members of the free IBM Z XPlore environment can access and
experiment with the system
