Meanwhile it is as much about modern skills as it is about modern platforms. IBM is working with customers on all of these axes. One reason the tools need to be modern is so that younger developers are familiar with them &#8211; IBM has therefore for example built Cobol and PL\/1 development support for Visual Studio Code. Ansible, Jira, Git, Slack all become a natural part of the toolset through IBM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/uk-en\/products\/wazi-developer\/details\">Wazi<\/a>. The idea is to make z as far as possible a natural and normal part of DevOps workflows, processes and pipelines. CI\/CD for apps with mainframe components- sure why not?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radcliffe explains how it all fits together in this fun conversation with RedMonk.
