As organizations modernize IBM Z® and LinuxONE™ environments, virtualization and automation are essential for delivering scalable, efficient, and resilient operations. This session explores how IBM Infrastructure Management for Z and LinuxONE provides a unified management layer for z/VM®, KVM, and PR/SM™ based virtualization environments. Attendees will learn how the solution enables consistent lifecycle management of virtual machines, storage, and networking across the platform.
The session also demonstrates how Terraform and Ansible can be used together to automate infrastructure provisioning and operational tasks through an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach, helping organizations accelerate deployment, improve consistency, and reduce operational complexity.
In addition, the session highlights recent enhancements that extend management capabilities to logical partitions (LPARs), enabling LPARs, hypervisors, and virtual machines to be managed through a single, unified operational and automation framework. By bringing these capabilities together, IBM Infrastructure Management for Z and LinuxONE helps organizations simplify hybrid infrastructure operations while supporting modernization initiatives across IBM Z and LinuxONE environments.
