IBM Bluemix

2. What is Bluemix?
Bluemix is an open-standard, cloud-based platform for building, managing, and running applications of all types (web, mobile, big data, new smart devices, and so on).

3. How does Bluemix work?
Bluemix embraces Cloud Foundry as an open source Platform as a Service and extends it with IBM, third party, and community built services.
Bluemix is built on top of IBM’s infrastructure as a service offering - SoftLayer. It embraces Cloud Foundry as an open source platform as a service and extends it with IBM, third party, and community built services.
Explain Diagram (verbs in blue - please use this terminology)
Start by Pushing your code through Cloud Foundry
Cloud Foundry interprets which language you’ve used and associates your code to the appropriate runtime - now you have a working app (layer above runtimes).
Your app can
Pull prebuilt services (IBM, 3rd party, or community built) in from the marketplace and utilize their functionality
Connect to traditional IT - aka “Your Systems” with a secure connector
Connect to other clouds that you utilize with a secure connector
All of this sits on infrastructure (networking, storage, servers) hosted by IBM Softlayer (IBM’s IaaS cloud offering)
Finally - when your app is built and ready to go, it can be accessed by anything with a web browser and a connection to the internet, a smartphone app (via the Bluemix SDK) to utilize backend services, or another type of app or system (via an API you create).

4. Why are developers using Bluemix?
To rapidly bring products and services to market at lower cost
Go from zero to running code in a matter of minutes.
To continuously deliver new functionality to their applications
Automate the development and delivery of many applications.
We’ve seen over 30,000 beta applications thus far and have spoken to numerous developers about the value Bluemix provides. We’ve learned that developers are joining for 3 key reasons (go through reasons on the page).
Rapid setup and time to production
Frequent releases - delivery of fixes or new functionality quickly
Integrating apps with on premise infrastructure
To extend existing investments in IT infrastructure
Extend existing investments by connecting securely to on-premise infrastructure.

5. Create apps quickly with prebuilt services
A full range of capabilities to suit any great idea.
Mobile Services
Choice
Runtimes, services, and tooling up to you
Watson Services
Internet of Things Services
Cloud
Integration Services
Industry Leading IBM Capabilities
Services leveraging the depth of IBM software
Database services
Bluemix allows developers the flexibility to choose their own languages and tooling - but choice doesn’t stop there. We want to allow developers to compose their applications of whichever services, IBM created or otherwise, that work best for them, their organization, and their projects.
IBM Created Service Examples (full range of proven, industry leading capabilities):
SQL Database (DB2 relational database), Analytics Warehouse (Blu Acceleration powered), MQLight (message provider), Cloudant (IBM’s no-sql database), Watson Services (cognitive computing), Mobile Application Security, Push Notifications
Third Party Created Service Examples (competing or otherwise - note the colors):
Clear DB (MANAGED MySQL relational database), Cloud AMQP (MANAGED rabbit MQ message provider), MongoLab (MANAGED no-sql mongo db), Square (process mobile payments), Twilio (VoIP Calls, SMS & MMS sending/receiving)
Community Services (if open source works best for you):
mysql (MySQL open source db), rabbitmq (RabbitMQ open source message provider), redis (open source Key-Value store),

6. Integrate with your on-premise applications
Securely connect to and leverage data from your existing systems.
This API provides access to on-premise data, specifically a lookup of the address where a customer purchase was made.
Secure Connector
API from On-Premise
We know how important your existing on-premise and other cloud investments are to your business - so we’ve designed Bluemix to quickly, easily, and securely connect to them:
Secure Connector provides a simple mechanism for connecting to another system - be it on-site (behind a firewall) or in the cloud. If you have DataPower, Bluemix works with that as well.
The Standard (Cast Iron) Secure Connector is a simple software based connector that establishes a tunnel between BlueMix applications and the network on which it is installed, leveraging a secure (HTTPS) access that eliminates the need for a firewall port.
You can create REST APIs against endpoints you’ve securely connected to (i.e. an API that “GETs” customer information from a DB2 database on-premise)

7. Monitor your apps in real time
Integrated diagnostics for detailed application behavior.
Gain the visibility and control you need over your applications.
Understand how your apps are performing in real time with these key metrics
Uptime
Usage
Response time
Easy-to-use dashboards and integrated analytics-powered search capability help you find the root cause line of code quickly and easily.
Integrated log file analysis on a single tab that helps you to quickly identify errors.

8. Build your Bluemix app Using IoT service.
If showing a live demo, this is where you would stop and deliver it.
Afterwards, transition to talking about use cases and specific customers who have realized significant value using Bluemix.
The theme throughout this presentation is that Bluemix just “works.” It’s easy, it’s quick, it’s flexible, it works…
and it works out in the world today for a number of use cases, specific customers, and for this demo I’m about to show you (optional).
