Does ESP support running scheduled jobs on a CNCF Kubernetes platform?

[egulatee]

We currently use CA ESP to run scheduled jobs on AIX hosts.

We are considering moving to RHEL and hosting our applications in containers running on a Kubernetes cluster.

 

Does ESP support running jobs on a Kubernetes cluster?  Is there any documentation we can follow to do so?

Hi Eric,

 

ESP user community has been moved to a new place:

CA Mainframe Workload Automation 

 

And for mainframe scheduler products agent related questions, please post it here:

CA Mainframe Workload Automation 

 

I will ask our admin to move your post to there.

 

Thank you,

The short answer is "yes, you can schedule containerized applications using ESP". When it comes to running applications deployed in containers it can be done and there are multiple ways of accomplishing this depending on your needs. We have customers running agents in the containers themselves. We also have customers running the applications by starting and monitoring the containers from the engines.

 

Please reach out to the respective Product Manager for more information regarding running your containerized applications:
