I've been working with companies that use IWS/WebAdmin for over 15 years and the thing I like about it the most is it makes my life easier, because it makes their user's lives easier. For anyone familiar with IBM Workload Scheduler, the need to quickly monitor and create reports on the batch that each team [...]
Kubernetes In the previous article, I discussed some of the drivers and benefits of moving to containerised and cloud-native workloads. Now that you've massively reduced the footprint your applications require, you need a way to manage, secure and scale your container-based applications, which is where kubernetes comes in.

Manual upgrades of agents is a time-consuming [...]
A question was asked on the maestro-l mailing list recently about how to restrict the actions of a user so that they only have read-only access to objects in the plan and database, and also, they must only be able to "see" a subset of TWS workstations, despite there being additional agents running under the [...]
