Z DevOps Talks

Chris and David talk... finally!

Welcome everyone to the first Z DevOps Talks episode of 2026! As fate would have it, both Chris and David happened to be in the same place at the same time for once, and it happened to be in Orlando at the SHARE Conference. Plot twist: Chris was actually attending SHARE, David was just hanging out. What are the odds??? As promised in the episode, we are hopeful to be able to interact with our listeners more this year! We're still working out the details on a few things, but until then, we suggest joining the System Z Enthusiasts Discord server at https://discord.gg/sze where we're going to post updates. Thanks for listening, from the bottom of our hearts.

Everyone talks TAZ!

In this episode, David and Chris talk with.... a whole lot of people. Might be tied for our largest guest group yet! We had Mohit Satoskar, Neha Shah, and Gerald Mitchell on to discuss IBM's Test Accelerator for Z testing product: what it is, what it does, how it does what it does, and cool features that have been released recently. Enjoy the listen, and check out the product here!

David and Paul talk at SHARE!

In this episode, David is live on the scene (back in August) at SHARE! He was able to catch up with Paul Buchanan from Ensono and have a great conversation. Enjoy!

Frank talks simplification

In this episode of zDevOps Talks, David and I were able hook Frank De Gilio! This is big news, in case you weren't aware, Frank has run a very successful, very entertaining and informative podcast called Terminal Talk over the years and he is one big fish that we were hoping to get on our show. We talk simplification, the rebel alliance, and more on re:ipl (you can almost think of it as a semi-part-two of our last episode with Steven Perva). Have a listen, it's a great talk!

Steven talks re:ipl

In this episode, Steven Perva is back again to talk about his unconference, re:ipl. This year will be the second time he has hosted this conference and it sounds like a really good time. He also is founded the System Z Enthusiasts Discord server, found here: https://discord.gg/szeJoin to talk all things Z with fellow Z enthusiasts.
