We are planning to migrate Mainframe to Microsoft Azure As a initial part, we are planning to create azure containers to run JCL. I have read many articles around that. As of now, we need some working prototype for this. Anyone could you please show some light..

    Hello @Manohar, Pavithra (Cognizant) ,

    Azure containers are a great way to move logic running on-premise to the cloud.

    Is this is the best way (next to eg. VMs) for your specific solution is something you know best.

    Please check the MS Learn module like this one to start to understand what Azure Containers is. There is a complete learning path regarding Azure compute resources available here.

    Perhaps, you are also interested in Azure Batch as part of HPC.

    Some modules in MS Learn come with free sandboxed Azure training instances.

    If you want to try out Azure, you can start for free here. (Note: Microsoft askes for a credit card to check if you are not 'a computer' and to prevent giving away unlimited resources.)
