- 2. Getting Started with IBM Bluemix What does IBM Bluemix include? • IBM Bluemix is an implementation of IBM’s Open Cloud Architecture, using Cloud Foundry to enable developers to rapidly build, deploy, and manage their cloud applications, while tapping a growing ecosystem of available services and runtime frameworks. In addition to full-stack components and language support, IBM Bluemix includes the Watson Core Accelerators & Services that form IBM Watson “cognitive “computing” applications. • The Watson Core Accelerators & Services are an extensive suite of web services for bringing semantic leverage to unstructured materials, such as text, images, and speech. They form the building blocks of Watson “cognitive computing”. These services include the following functionality: 10/25/2017 AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS): Business Solutions with IBM Bluemix and IBM Watson Developer Cloud (WDC) 2
