What can we say about the IBM Cloud environment? What makes it unique and so exciting? To start, the IBM Cloud platform (formerly known as Bluemix) actually combines platform as a service (PaaS) with infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and, in addition, offers a collection or catalog of cloud services that you can integrate with PaaS and IaaS to efficiently build individual, enterprise, or even global innovative applications. 

Some other key points on the IBM Cloud (from a developer perspective) include the following: 

• You can develop in what is called a cloud without borders, which means that you can connect private services to the public IBM Cloud services that are available from IBM
• You can expect to see a continuously growing number of services and runtime frameworks being added and becoming available to you
• You can take an idea from start, to development sandbox, to a globally distributed environment with the IBM Watson tools and services without having to make major investments
• You can test and adopt an extensive range of cloud services and capabilities from IBM, open source communities, and third-party developers
• You can control resources in real time as per the needs or workload demands change

There's much more we can do.
