“The following packages on AIX Open Source toolbox allows the use of AIX nodes as worker nodes in a Kubernetes cluster managed by IBM Cloud Private. The packages provides a set of services to manage containers and network(s) on AIX nodes and a set of commands to create and manipulate container images on AIX. Containers on AIX are implemented using Workload Partitions (WPARs)”.
