Why and How Can Zowe Be Extended by a Tools Vendor or Customer's IT Shop

Project and Program: Enterprise Data Center, Integrating Innovative Technologies

Tags: Proceedings, 2019, SHARE Pittsburgh 2019

Zowe is designed and built to be an extensible and open platform.  One of its goals is to have a rich set of base function that is freely and widely available under an open source license.  Another one of its goals is to provide a platform onto which vendors can host their tools through extension and plugin points.  This is equally applicable to mainframe IT shops who want to build out their own in-house value add to Zowe to rehost their own internal proprietary systems.  This talk is designed to cover how to extend Zowe from a technical perspective and cover the different patterns of extension, together with showing the samples and guides that can be used to showcase each extension playbook.  At the end of the talk attendees who are looking at Zowe as a platform to extend and host their own tooling, whether for commercial or internal user, will know more about how to do this as well as the benefit of why.  The presenters will also discuss their vision for the future and welcome all feedback and questions for missing onboarding patterns that the Zowe team should look to provide-Joe Winchester-IBM - Hursley Labs; Sujay Solomon-Broadcom
