Evening all,
pray tell what is "sort-of"? KVM/QEMU and it's derivatives have been around for rather a long time in the unwashed/tamatotchi world. zKVM is nothing more than an attempt by IBM to make a hypervisor palatable to a generation that do not have the know-how or indeed, the discipline to create/maimntain such a beauty as z/VM (CP 64-67 or indeed, VM/BSEPP, Matisse, Sartre. Can such things happen?? - Asks a Luddite? The Germans have a lovely expression for this generation, perhaps the epoch we live in today - Die Wegwerf Generation - The throw-away generation / Pizza / Mc Donalds etc.) Tis indeed sad, me being but a very young child of the sixties. For purely informational purposes, I actually work in BB-DE. Those who work in the lab will know where I mean.

This used to be the province of z/OS only and has led to extreme examples of gyrations to keep costs down. I have to say it worries me, given what I've read from various z/OS shops in this mailing list. The more time people spend worrying about keeping costs down, the less time they have for real work that provides real value to the business.
