Currently I’m working with Linux and I found this diagram which I like very much.
http://flylib.com/books/3/475/1/html/2/images/0131777203/graphics/02fig01.gif I’ve searched google images and more places looking for something similar as that for z/OS. I didn’t find one. Somewhere I read an opinion that z/OS was the most complex piece of technology mankind has ever come up with. The more I learn, the more I think that is pretty valid. I think somehow a z/OS diagram in the same style as the Linux kernel diagram would be similar, but even after working with MVS/z/OS my entire life, so much of it is still a mystery. How can something so complex be so stable and efficient? As the world moves more to Linux, in order to survive I too keep up with and constantly improve my Linux skills as mainframe work declines, which is par for the course, of course, but who knows, RedHat running on system z in some sort of cloud environment may be as fast or faster and/or more efficient than pizza boxes which are basically “throw-away” when something goes wrong, the only difference is the cost of it all, z/VM and the system z hardware. Any links to pictures or comments between the differences between z/OS and Linux kernel architecture are of course welcome.
