http://containerz.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Linux on z Systems and Containers. Topics on container technology and its use in Linux on the mainframe. Thursday, July 21, 2016. Multi-Arch Registry and Images. It has been a while since multi-architecture support has been developed and brought upstream. Multi-architecture support allows to put several images behind a common identifier in a registry. With that, a consumer of the image wont have to think about pulling the right binary flavor of the image, its done right automatically for him. Please note...

Linux on z Systems and Containers. Topics on container technology and its use in Linux on the mainframe. Monday, August 17, 2015. Docker and z/VM or KVM? At LinuxCon, KVM for z has been announced. From a Docker perspective, what does KVM change over a z/VM environment? Closing Another Base Image Gap. Most recently, I mentioned ( here. How to best deal with the fact that Ubuntu is widely used as base image, but does not exist on z Systems. A sufficiently close Debian is a decent solution for that. Please ...

Linux on z Systems and Containers: Portability Series: A Go Environment
http://containerz.blogspot.com/2015/07/portability-series-go-environment.html
Linux on z Systems and Containers. Topics on container technology and its use in Linux on the mainframe. Friday, July 31, 2015. Portability Series: A Go Environment. Previously we looked at the portability. Of container setups. One of the observations is that a lot of containers are based on a Go environment - take swarm. On x86, that usually means golang, but we have gccgo on s390. Let's see, how we can deal with this difference. When you check out the Dockerfile of swarm. And of the registry. ENV LD LI...

Linux on z Systems and Containers. Topics on container technology and its use in Linux on the mainframe. Sunday, January 31, 2016. FROM golang" - revisited. We created an image that deals with go-based containers. When tagging it golang. Building works out of the box for most Dockerfiles. Now that golang has been ported to s390x. We can look at this again, creating a golang image that bases on golang rather than gccgo:. The first step is to create debian (jessie) image as described here. 94339ef0cba5 gol...
