Zowe Quarterly Update

Join the Zowe Community on Wednesday, May 29, from 11:30 am -12:30 pm ET, for the next quarterly update! Register here.

Featured topic: Zowe Clients Team Configuration

Featured speaker: Adam Wolfe, OMP Ambassador and Broadcom Product Owner

With Zowe v3 on the release horizon, team configuration for Zowe CLI and Zowe Explorer for Visual Studio Code becomes more relevant than ever. The Zowe Community introduced team config to take the burden of learning, understanding, and implementing connectivity away from every user – which is what v1 profiles required.

Join this session for a comprehensive review of team config, what it looks like, how best to leverage it, and (for those of you still using v1 profiles) best practices for converting Zowe CLI v1 profiles to team config to ensure you and your team are ready for Zowe v3!
