Availability across multiple architectures
To further support customer choice in computing architecture, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 is simultaneously available across all supported architectures, including x86, IBM Power, IBM z Systems, and 64-bit Arm.
Support for IBM Z is available through the kernel-alt package, as indicated earlier here, which provides Linux kernel 4.14. QEMU ships v2.10 via package qemu-kvm-ma, and libvirt is updated to v3.9.0 for all platforms.
Thereby, all IBM z14 features as previously listed here are available.
