IBM Masterclass- Bluemix, Watson, Cloudant and more

There are various cloud computing platforms out there in the digital space, where you can build almost anything that comes to your mind. You just need to visualize and build a proper roadmap. In other words, this is the job of a Cloud Solution Architect, who can help you curate a full strategy of your cloud adoption. If you are running a website or a mobile application that lacks certain capabilities, you can leverage the power of cloud computing platforms to add more features by integrating a wide range of tools and services provided on the cloud computing platforms. Cloud computing is a binding force of all domains present in the Information Technology sector. So it doesn’t really matter, what is your prime domain- be it web development, database administrator, mobile app development, devops engineer, software developer or anything else. You would soon be working on any of the cloud computing platform, if you are still not there.

So, once you have realized the importance of cloud computing platforms in the life of an IT professional, the next thing that may come to your mind is- which cloud computing platform to learn? But there is no obvious answer to it. There are lots of Cloud computing platforms with wide range of tools and services, that are mostly identical just with the difference of name and pricing. But there are also many cloud services that can either make or break your project. AWS (Amazon Web Services) is most popular cloud computing platform, and IBM Bluemix is not among top three in terms of popularity. But when it comes to Cognitive computing and Machine Learning, IBM Watson is unmatchable. You can build some cognitive applications with AWS Lex and AWS Polly, but when you dive deeper, soon you could realize, that there are something that can be done in better way with IBM Watson.

IBM Cloudant is one more such example. It is a NoSQL Database as a service that is available on IBM Bluemix, but nowhere else. It can do powerful Geo-search queries, and complex operations. You can’t say that IBM Bluemix is better than other platforms like AWS. Because there are lot of things that you can easily do on AWS that are still not available on IBM Bluemix. But it completely depends on your selections of cloud services.

In this course you will be learning most of the cloud services available on IBM Cloud, right from the start. So, if you are just a beginner, don’t worry, you will be learning right from the fundamentals. But gradually we will dive deeper into services like IBM Watson and IBM Cloudant with detailed learning. You will be learning a lot of these services with Hands-on practical exercises.
