Of interest to mvs3.8j hobbiests, probably not unless they want to run it on an OpenStack cloud; which they would probably need to be running at home as rackspace does not allow custom images installed.<\/p>\n
Ok, to be truthful it is actually a Fedora 20 cloud-init enabled image. With hercules being the application that is installed on the image. <\/p>\n
When booted into an instance it will automatically start hercules running my customised copy of Turnkey3.<\/p>\n
As long as you associate a floating ip for the instance and open port 3270\/tcp to the instance all you have to do is boot the instance, wait a while, and connect a 3270 emulator to the ip-address assigned on port 3270 for a TSO session.<\/p>\n
But if you don’t want to fire up a kvm VM and would prefer a cloud fire-up\/tear-down environment it is possible.<\/p>\n
But I have added the image as an option in the hercules section of my website covering ‘how to obtain a working copy’ for those that may not want a live-DVD\/live-USB solution.<\/p>\n
Ok, real reason, I just wanted to do it.
\nAnd it’s tested and working; a new mvs38j system can be deployed and running in minutes as a standard OpenStack instance.<\/p>\n
