Project and Program: Enterprise-wide, zNextGen Project

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE Sacramento 2018, 2018

We all hear about cloud and you've heard about IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, XaaS and everything-else-as-a-service. But what does a cloud application really look like? What's a "cloud-native" application? What is "12-Factor"? How can an application be "serverless"? Where do all the pieces run and how do they connect to make up a cloud app? And how are IBM Z systems related to these applications and architectures? You're hearing it from other parts of your organization. It's important for you to be able to speak the language and understand what the app folks are doing. Come hear the story so you can understand cloud application architecture and be prepared to show your colleagues how IBM Z systems can enhance and protect the development and runtime for those cloud applications.-Bill Seubert-IBM Corporation
