Openshift Deployment

Hi,

I have a question regarding a deployment (JSON API, Ledger API etc) on an OpenShift based on z/Linux.
Do you know if there is any issue with z/Linux, since it is not a x86 arch?

Thanks a lot

Hi @novusopt,
I don’t think anyone has tried it so far. In principle, Sandbox and the JSON API are JVM components so they could run on a JVM on z/Linux. However, I would expect that there are some issues that have to be ironed out. If you try it out, let us know how it goes!

Hi @cocreature,

thanks for your quick reply.
The deployment will run on an OpenShift and not directly on z/Linux. OpenShift is deployed on a z/Linux machine…

I’m not too familiar with OpenShift. Are you saying that you will run the ledger and the JSON API in X86 VMs? If you run in z/Architecture VMs or containers on z/Architecture that shouldn’t change much.

The JSON API & Ledger API will run in Docker containers deployed in an OpenShift cluster which has z/Linux as the underlying OS.

Docker does not change the architecture so you are still running on z/Architecture (but it can change your linux distro) and not x86 so the same caveats apply.

Hi @cocreature

thanks a lot! I will check…
