The current COBOL standard was released in 2014 and the latest IBM Z mainframe was released in April 2020. Contrary to being legacy technologies, development is still incredibly active on both and together they still easily handle a large number of mission critical workloads, from airlines to banks, around the world. You'll even find mainframes in IBM Cloud, driving secure key handling, encrypted databases, and secure, Linux-based, virtual machines.
In this talk you'll hear from a former cloud-focused Linux Systems Administrator who has recently joined the world of COBOL and mainframes to learn about what she's discovered about the ecosystem, and the modern, DevOps-driven tooling now available to developers entering this space.
