technologies:
So what is Bluemix?Bluemix is an open-standards, cloud-based platform for building, running, and managing applications.
Build your apps, your wayUse the most prominent compute technologies to power your app: Cloud Foundry, Docker, OpenStack.
Extend apps with servicesA catalog of IBM, third party, and open source services allow the developer to stitch an application together quickly.
Scale more than just instancesDevelopment, monitoring, deployment, and logging tools allow the developer to run and manage the entire application.
Layered SecurityIBM secures the platform and infrastructure and provides you with the tools to secure your apps.
Deploy and manage hybrid apps seamlesslyGet a seamless dev and management experience across a number of hybrid implementations options.
Flexible Pricing Try compute options and services for free and, when you’re ready, pay only for what you use. Pay as you go and subscription models offer choice and flexibility.
Coming Summer 2015
More openness and choice than ever beforeBluemix is anything but locked down. You choose how you build, deploy, and manage your apps. Bluemix takes care of the rest.
ComputeChoose the level of infrastructure abstraction based on your app’s architectural needs.
Dev ToolingFrom editors to source code management to continuous delivery, you can use Bluemix’ powerful tooling or easily bring your own.
LocationDeploy apps to Bluemix Public (in a growing number of geos), your own dedicated cloud Bluemix, or one that runs within your data center.
ServicesPick from a catalog of IBM, third party, open source, or your own services to extend your apps.

Compute FlexibilityChoose the level of infrastructure abstraction and fine-tuned control that suits their apps and services.
Instant Runtimes Containers Virtual Machines (Beta)
The highest level of infrastructure abstraction. Focus on the app.
Powerful, but less resource intensive than VMs. Key to supporting hybrid portability.
Control all the way down to the operating system.
• Extends Cloud Foundry with DevOps tooling, integration capabilities, and seamless app management
• Support for 7 key languages and the option to use a community buildpack.
• Docker as-a-service means no VMs to manage
• A repository of enterprise-grade images which are trusted and secure
• Enhanced performance and scalability
• Integrated monitoring, logging, networking, and storage
• Deploy and manage VMs consistently across public, dedicated, and private instances with a single dashboard.
• Connect to your own OpenStack infrastructure

1 | PublicMaximize on cloud economics and agility.
2 | DedicatedEverything is dedicated and connected to you — agility of public cloud, yet feels like home.
3 | NEW: LocalBehind the firewall for the most sensitive workloads.
Seamless ExperienceRegardless of which combination you choose, you can expect a single, seamless experience.
Hybrid CloudLeverage multiple deployment zones to get the most out the cloud and connect to your existing applications.
IBM BluemixConsole Overview
– Identify your geographic location in two ways
1. The subdomain of the URL
2. The region selection section in user settings
– Change your geo by selecting a new location in the Region Selection section of the user settings
2
RegionsEach production instance of Bluemix Public is located in a different geographic location.

Company > Organizations > Spaces > Apps/Services
1. The currently selected org
2. Create a new space within the org
3. The currently selected space
– An individual can belong to one or more organizations
– By default, a user belongs to an org with the name of their registration email
– Users can view and change their currently selected org
– Each org contains one to many number of spaces
– User can only view the spaces in their currently selected org
– Permissions can be fine tuned for an organization or space by selecting Manage Organizations in the user settings dropdown
Orgs and SpacesEnvironment isolation in Bluemix is achieved using Organization and Spaces.
– View all apps and basic corresponding information
– Create new apps or provision new services from this section
– Drill down to a specific app or service details page
Dashboard: Your Apps and ServicesAll your apps, infrastructure, and service instances for each space are contained in a single, searchable location.
– View your app’s detailed metrics, logs, and parameters
– Horizontally or vertically scale your application
– Manage your app’s services
App DetailsThe app details page will display your app’s basic information and provide routes to more in-depth information for your app.
– Faceted search on the left sidebar narrows down options in catalog
– Boilerplates (prebuilt app with several services) are available as a starting codebase
– Selecting a service allows you to create a new service instance and bind it to your app
Catalog: Runtimes and ServicesThe catalog houses all the runtimes, container images, and services available in the current region.
IBM BluemixCreating and Updating an App
1. Find your desired runtime in the catalog
2. Select the runtime, then select the Space and fill in the Name and Host fields in the configuration box
3. Click ‘Create’Your app will now stage and deploy. Once
it is finished, hit the link to access your running app!

1. Create a Git repository for your app and navigate to your repo
2. Click the ‘Edit Code’ button
3. Navigate to the index.html file inside of the public folder
4. Change the value inside the h1 element on line 18 to read “Hello World!”
5. Save the file
