Since their introduction, containers have been a main part of application development due to their portability and efficiency. With the release of the z/OS Container Platform (zOSCP) 1.1, developers on z/OS can now leverage these benefits as well. And with the release of IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Go 1.22, we're very excited to announce that Go on z/OS will be a supported language for use in containers. 

The Go container image is available to download from IBM Cloud Container Registry. It is available in conjunction with the IBM z/OS Container Platform (5655-MC3). Follow the instructions in the 'Entitlement Memo' included within the Bill of Material for Go 1.22 (5655-GOZ). Check out the how to obtain blog and learn how to use the Go container image.
