Git has established itself as the defacto standard for software configuration management (SCM). Developers across all platforms love Git for its ability to support flexible, parallel development. With "Infrastructure as Code", System Engineers, Database Analysts, and Cloud Architects are defining their work in code. This includes creating an end-to-end workflow, building a runtime infrastructure, triggering automated tests and updating tracking systems. Code has become the lingua franca and that raises the strategic importance of where and how that code is managed.
Enterprise customers who depend on z/OS to run mission-critical applications recognize the need for an integrated DevOps toolchain. The practice must extend and modernize the mainframe stack. IBM's new Z Open Development with Dependency Based Build (DBB) uses Groovy to define build process for traditional z/OS artifacts, with the added benefit of making z/OS assets more approachable to a new generation of z/OS developers.
The result is faster time-to-market by breaking down individual team and organizational silos and increase efficiency by reusing codes amongst different projects. Join to learn more about how IBM & GitHub are working together to deliver more value from your z/OS investments.
