In case you are running EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) on Linux on IBM zSystems, you may want ot have a look on Marc's blog post regarding a new performance tuning guide:

In April we also noted that JetBrains has included s390x in their Habitat Detector and @almalinux is including it in their #openQA deployment https://openqa.almalinux.org/

Plus, Tyk & VictoriaMetrics were confirmed building for s390x by v1gnesh! #LinuxONE #zSystems #mainframe

The s390x open source team at IBM works to get the latest versions of open source software running for #Linux on IBM #zSystems & #LinuxONE

In April 2023 currency was maintained for over two dozen projects, including: @ScyllaDB @HashiCorp's #Terraform & @apacheactivemq

Happy #Ubuntu 23.04 release day, @ubuntu pals!

You know what I'm here to say.

I know my mainframe crew tends to focus on LTS releases (this is not one), but there's s390x support in this release too! https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/elizabeth-k-joseph1/2023/04/20/ubuntu-2304-for-ibm-zsystems-and-linuxone #mainframe #zSystems #LinuxONE

s390x has been supported by the @fedora community since Fedora 15 in mid-2011, so the release of Fedora 38 on April 18th continues that tradition of support - 12 years! 🥳

IBM z16 and IBM LinuxONE 4 include the IBM Integrated Accelerator for AI. This video shows how you can use Linux to make your AI analysis simpler, more secure, and with real-time processing at scale.

But the runner-test is very boring, it's just to confirm that everything is connected and the result is just an echo statement. I'm not testing my code.

Check out the #CircleCI docs here: https://circleci.com/docs/runner-installation-linux/ #s390x #LinuxONE #zSystems

It's straight-forward to get a basic test with included images going on #CircleCI, unimaginatively called "build" in my screenshot below.

Machine runners? More involved, but now that it's available for #s390x I wanted to try, and there we are with a successful runner-test! 👇 #LinuxONE #zSystems

Nice overview of some of the latest updates from folks working on #KVM for #IBM #zSystems 🐧🧑‍💻

Support of long kernel command lines! IBM #z16 & #LinuxONE 4 support! Remote attestation & Encrypted dump for Secure Execution! And more!

Running more and more containers on #redhat #OpenShift ?
And you want to increase the protection of your OCP Cluster ?

With RedHat OpensShift 4.12 a cluster can be installed with #SecureExecution protection. Learn what Secure Execution is, how it is implemented on RedHat OpenShift, and how it will protect a cluster.
