| [PLUG] OT: OpenVMS on x86-64 reaches production status with v9.2 |
This is a bit OT but fits in with recent discussion on mainframes, and there is support for various open source baked in. https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/10/openvms_92/ VMS Software Inc. has announced the release of OpenVMS 9.2, the first production-supported release for commercial off-the-shelf x86 hardware. The expectation is that customers will deploy the new OS [PDF] into VMs. Most recent hypervisors are supported, including VMware (Workstation 15+, Fusion 11+ and ESXi 6.7+), KVM (tested on CentOS 7.9, openSUSE Leap 15.3, and Ubuntu 18.04), and Oracle VirtualBox 6.1. For now, there is a single supported [PDF] model of server for bare-metal hardware deployments: HPE's DL380. The next version, 9.2-1, is planned for November or December 2022 and will add support for Microsoft's Hyper-V. VMS Software Inc. (VSI) is looking into adding support for deployment onto Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. ...
