  abstract  = {Large-scale computing platforms, like the IBM System z mainframe, are often administrated in an out-of-band manner, with a large portion of the systems management software running on dedicated servers which cause extra hardware costs. Splitting up systems management applications into smaller services and spreading them over the platform itself likewise is an approach that potentially helps with increasing the utilization of platform-internal resources, while at the same time lowering the need for external server hardware, which would reduce the extra costs significantly. However, with regard to IBM System z, this raises the general question how a great number of critical services can be run and managed reliably on a heterogeneous computing landscape, as out-of-band servers and internal processor modules do not share the same processor architecture. In this thesis, we introduce our prototypical design of a microservice infrastructure for multi-architecture environments, which we completely built upon preexisting open source projects and features they already bring along. We present how scheduling of services according to application-specific requirements and particularities can be achieved in a way that offers maximum transparency and comfort for platform operators and users.},
