Create a single linux/s390x virtual machine on IBM Cloud

Use this repository to set up a tutorial environments with a single virtual machine with the s390x systems and processor architecture

Create VM on s390x

On your local device, run the following commands in a terminal window:

1. git clone https://github.com:/rrschulze/ibm-cloud-s390x-single-vm
2. cd ibm-cloud-s390x-single-vm/terraform
3. terraform init
4. terraform apply -auto-approve

• Provide the IBM Cloud API key
• Provide your public ssh key

5. Make note of the ipv4_address and ipv4_internal values assigned to the virtual machine
6. Wait for 2 mins to allow the cloud-init process to be completed on the virtual machine
7. Logon to the virtual machine ssh -l labuser <ipv4_address>
