Abstract: Data is received describing attributes of a first mainframe computing system at a software appliance, where the software appliance is hosted at least in part on a second mainframe computing system and the software appliance includes a plurality of microservices hosted in a plurality of software containers. The data is sent to a first one of the plurality of microservices hosted in a first one of the plurality of software containers, where the first microservice includes data science logic. The data is analyzed using the data science logic to generate a result at the first microservice, and it is determined whether to send the result to a second one of the plurality of microservices hosted in a second one of the plurality of software containers, where the second microservice includes logic to determine an alert condition based on results received from other microservices in the software appliance.

Abstract: An initialization service of an operating system is stared, where the operating system is hosted at least in part on a first logical partition (LPAR) of a first mainframe system and automates orchestration of a data analytics appliance on the first mainframe system. Automated orchestration of the data analytics appliance includes: starting a container system check service to determine whether resources are provided in the mainframe system to support a container manager; launching, upon completion of the container system check service, the container manager; starting an appliance manager to install a plurality of microservices on a plurality of containers provided by the container manager, where the plurality of microservices are interconnected to provide the data analytics appliance; and receiving data from another second mainframe system for processing by the data analytics appliance.
