IBM® Cloud platform (formerly Bluemix) combines platform as a service (PaaS) with infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to build, run, deploy, and manage applications on the cloud. Additionally, the IBM Cloud platform has a rich catalog of cloud services that can be easily integrated with your applications. Supported programming languages and runtimes include Java, Node.js, Swift, Go, PHP, Python, and Ruby, and other languages.

IBM Cloud platform is based on open source technology. In addition to using IBM Cloud platform to build Web applications for multiple frameworks - including iOS - you can create Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters, or launch virtual server instances. IBM Cloud platform follows a Hybrid Cloud model meaning that the apps, containers, and VMs that you use with the platform are portable across public, dedicated, and on-premises clouds.

The IBM Cloud platform console provides application boilerplates to help you get started. The IBM Cloud platform console offers a growing catalog of over 100 services to build applications.

When asking questions about the IBM Cloud platform, you should:

  • Ensure you are asking a technical question about using the IBM Cloud platform or services. (For questions about your account or IBM Cloud platform offerings, ask at IBM developerWorks Answers or open a support ticket.)
  • Search Stack Overflow to see if somebody else has already asked the same question.
  • Explain what you were trying to do when you encountered the problem. What software versions were you using? Is there anything else about your environment that could lead to the problem?
  • Provide code samples where possible. Isolate the problem and reproduce it with as little code as possible.
  • Include the tag, plus an additional tag to indicate the service or technology in question.

Getting support for the IBM Cloud platform

  • Ask non-technical questions about the IBM Cloud platform offerings at IBM developerWorks Answers. It’s also the best place to ask questions about getting started with the platform.
  • Open a support ticket to get answers to your issue especially if you cannot find the answer in the forums. See Getting Customer Support for details on contacting Support and opening tickets.
