AGENDA What is Bluemix? - Cloud offering that includes dashboard, catalog, services, docs, runtimes, boilerplates, recipes Bluemix Services Cloud Foundry, Docker, VMs Microservices architecture IoT Foundation - connecting remote devices Node-RED Troubleshooting on forums ( dwAnswers and stackOverflow ) Real world examples and Demos
- 4. My husband says pizza is the answer to everything Using “pizza-as-a-service” analogy: •On Premise = you buy everything and make the pizza at home •IaaS = take and bake (pick up the pizza, you cook it at home) •PaaS = pizza delivered •SaaS = dining in the restaurant
- 5. On Premise = your business handles everything, provisioning hardware, software, IaaS = the infrastructure, storage, networks, other fundamental resources are provided and you manage the software and your applications. PaaS = the hardware (cloud environment), software and runtimes are provided for you but you manage your own applications SaaS = everything is provided by another party and you use their software service

Editor's Notes
- Intro Slide Using Bluemix to quickly Connect to the Cloud You can rapidly build and deploy an application in a cloud operating environment using Bluemix
- With Bluemix, you can quickly build, manage and run a range of applications—including web, mobile, big data, and new smart devices—on an open-standard, cloud-based platform. It’s free of charge for 30 days and includes many services with free plans, all available with the click on a button in just a few minutes.
- Benefit of cloud – elasticity.
- Albert Barron is the IBM Bluemix team member who came up with this idea to help people grasp the difference types of services.
- Bluemix allows developers to expedite their release times by eliminating the need to manage and maintain infrastructure. Bluemix allows developers to focus on the code without the worry for getting hardware provisioned and software installed. IBM is handling those tasks.
- By obtaining cloud services, you can increase standardization, lower costs and observe a faster time to value. With Bluemix handling the servers, storage, software the time to develop and deploy is quicker. Software upgrades and fixpack installations are handled by IBM, this helps customer stay up-to-date on supported current versions that offer latest features.
- Bluemix is now evolving to be more than just a public PaaS. Softlayer provided dedicates servers, managed hosting and cloud computing services.
- For customers who have confidential and sensitive data and may be reluctant to use the cloud, IBM has dedicated Bluemix instances available. Customers are provided with a private, single tenant instance of Bluemix running in a Softlayer environment that is completely managed by IBM.
- With Bluemix public, dedicated and the addition of local customers can have Bluemix running where the business needs. We envision our customers will actually uses a combination of Bluemix dedicated and local as well as public. For example, an app could be developed and deployed in dedicated or local but then want to consume a service provided by that app in another app running in Bluemix public. With these three options available, a true hybrid cloud solution is possible using Bluemix.
- Visibility, control and security everywhere data and services exist Transparency to see all data and apps across infrastructures Control and governance to manage and orchestrate workloads and access A multi-layered approach to ensure security across every interaction point Developer productivity to easily integrate, compose and deliver modern apps connect and compose data and services for enterprise, web and mobile apps bring apps closer to data or data closer to apps quickly develop, refine and deploy apps with hybrid cloud DevOps Data and analytics to provide the best insight from all relevant data inside and outside the organization and optimize data sovereignty and locality Data services to replicate and synchronize data Analytics services to refine data and provide insight Cognitive computing services to interact with and change the world
- When a developer has an idea for an application, they are faced with a series of obstacles. They need to be able to quickly get up and running with minimal startup costs, then to deliver new functionality and to connect to existing on-premise infrastructure. What used to take weeks or months to be done, may now take only a few days or even hours. cloud models simplify the workload of developers by managing complex tasks, thereby freeing up more time for them to create innovative new applications
- Free 30 day trial period
- Many different languages Ruby, Node.js, Python, and runtimes are available on Bluemix. IBM also provides various other services (open source and/or 3rd party services).
- Bluemix also provides Watson services, an artificial intelligence-enhanced analytics system allowing you to build cognitive apps that help enhance, scale, and accelerate human expertise. Watson cognitive analytic services may be incorporated into your application.
- Many different services currently available and new ones added all the time, we encourage collaboration nd welcome partners to join the IBM ecosystem and contribute Bluemix services as well as recipes and sample code. Some services may be offered as experimental or “beta” services.
- Cloud Foundry is at the heart of Bluemix. The Open-source technology enables the deployment of applications (and scaling and monitoring). The Cloud Foundry Foundation brings open governance, ensuring consistent functionality and behavior of core components across vendors.
- IBM Containers are powered by Docker, and allow developers to package their applications and runtimes then deploy as containers on Bluemix
- IBM Container service now exists alongside Cloud foundry apps deployed in Bluemix, allowing users to deploy containers as they would any other app in Bluemix. So if you package up and app and runtime with docker, you can then deploy it into Bluemix using the container service. Interconnect conference last month announced that users can now create VMs in Bluemix (like you would get from an IaaS like Softlayer). The VMs will live right alongside your Cloud Foundry aopps and Docker containers in Bluemix.
- Bluemix offers three open compute technologies: Cloud Foundry, Docker and OpenStack. Apps can run using instant runtimes, containers or virtual machines. This allows the user to pick the level of infrastructure for the app’s architectural needs.
- Bluemix allows you to integrate your applications with other Bluemix services to create a complete end-to-end IoT solution
- Bluemix helps you implement a microservices architecture. You can convert a monolithic application by breaking it into smaller functionalities (micro-services) which are wired/loosely coupled together. Messaging functions in Bluemix services allows you to create these connections and tie different services together.
- Internet of things, proliferation of intelligent devices. creates a need for businesses to process big data and provide real-time analytics and response.
- Sensors and other monitoring devices are embedded into many objects, systems and processes In the globalized world, people, systems, objects and processes are connected and communicating with one another in entirely new ways. Leveraging the data generated provides intelligence to help do things better, improving responsiveness and the ability to predict and optimize for future events
- The IoT Foundation lets your apps communicate with and consume data collected by your connected devices and sensors. Your apps can use real-time and REST APIs to communicate with your devices and consume the data you set them up to collect. First you get your devices connected, then you can build an app that talks to your devices. For example you might have a sensor that collects and sends humidity readings every minute. Our REST and real-time APIs allow you to quickly pull that device data into your apps for further analysis.
- A Bluemix boilerplate is a runtime and includes a sample application, the boilerplate makes it easy to get started.
- The IoT boilerplate includes a Node-RED application and a Cloudant database. You can try the sample flow with a simulator and customize it for your own devices.
- When you create a service in Bluemix, you can then bind it to your application so if there are things you want to use as part of your application such as a Cloudant database, MQ Light service, or IoT Foundation service, you can create those services and “bind” them to your application.
- Free 30 day trial then pay as you go.
- Different levels (Bronze, Silver, Gold) are available for the IoT Foundation service. Historian - paying customers get a longer retention period such as 6 or 12 months. Freemium customers have only a 1 month retention period. Customers may download their Historian data before it is purged at the end of their retention period
- The Bluemix website has a wealth of documentation to help users get started with IoT ( and other services as well). A very easy way to try it out is to use the IoT device simulator QuickStart example (you don’t need a device to test out an IoT app).
- IoT recipes are available to help you configure, connect and visualize your devices and develop applications to gather insights from the data. New recipes are being added and we welcome partners to join the IBM ecosystem. Contributing a new recipes is a great way to demonstrate the technologies of IBM partners (both as advertising and technical how-to).
- When a device is connected to the IoT Foundation, the data from remote devices can be managed within the cloud, using predictive analytics and real-time processing.
- Connecting remote apps directly to a business’ master data management backend system can create challenges. As the mobile apps scale, the load on the back end systems grow enormously. Additionally, if you have to make a change to your system of record, your mobile apps experience an outage. A “system of engagement” tier allows for cloud scaling and to mash up information from systems of record as well as other cloud sources and the Internet of things.
- Node-RED is lightweight runtime built on Node.js The Node-RED drag and drop feature allows for easy implementation.
- Here is a simple node-RED flow that I have tested. Whenever I make a change, I then simply click the red “Deploy” button again to update my application.
- You can increase the number of instances and memory as needed. There is where the elasticity of the cloud comes in handy. Bluemix allows you to quickly develop and deploy your application, then you can scale it as needed at a later date when volumes increase. It even has an auto-scaling option you can leverage.
- While on the Bluemix dashboard, if you have an application open, you will see the “ADD GIT” feature in the upper right hand corner. By clicking on that a Git Repository will be created within DevOps and a Git URL will then be shown with a button to Edit Code. You will also get an email with Project and GIT URLs. Clicking the EDIT CODE button will link you over to DevOps
- IBM’s Bluemix DevOps Track and Plan services can be used to create stories, tasks and effects to describe and track project work and use agile planning tools for backlog, releases and sprints.
- Bluemix and DevOps enable “continuous delivery”… it is possible to deploy new a new application on the live server or modify an existing running application with no downtime
- The “community” is great feature of Bluemix, it allows you to connect with other developers to get answers to your Bluemix questions. You can post on StackOverflow or dwAnswers.
- When you enter the community/forum you are taken to the dwAnswers website within developerWorks. Here you will see questions tagged with Bluemix (and/or other tags such as IoT).
- Paying customers can create Parature or RTC tickets, but may still choose to browse and search forums first for a quick answer. Doesn’t everyone google something these days when they don’t know how to do it? The forum experience is what customers are using these days (similar to stack overflow). It allows you to search and find answers to problems, or post a new question which may be answered by an IBM expert or another developer who has tried the same thing and figured out how to make it work!
- In addition to the forum Bluemix technicians monitor and post to Stack Overflow. Please post any non-confidential questions on that forum.
- Hackathon Example
- “idiot driver” application. Uses the familiar in-vehicle Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) such as Voice Command, Steering wheel and radio buttons. Imagine you are driving down the road and some “idiot” cuts you off and swerves in front of you. Since you have the PureFocus application on your smartphone and it’s paired with the SYNC AppLink head unit, you hit the command button on the steering wheel and say “REPORT DRIVER.” The voice recognition system in the car passes the command to our app through SYNC AppLink and then asks the driver, “WHAT HAPPENED?” Using the Audio Pass Through feature of SYNC Applink, we capture audio from the driver who say something like: “Some jerk just cut me off.” The app sends audio clip back to Watson, which can interpret the language (even if it’s not as PG as “idiot”)
- How do we know who they are? We determine the offending driver using their geo-location, steering maneuvers, speed, and braking pattern data that comes from the vehicle through SYNC AppLink. Assuming they have the application installed, their profile is tagged with an “IDIOT” event that decrements their safe driving score for the offending action. Additionally, the app allows you to gamify the whole thing and challenge your friends on Facebook or Twitter to be safer drivers.
- The application was built in iOS using IBM Bluemix, Watson Speech to Text, Watson Concept Expansion, Cloudant, and IoT Foundation. A demo was also created using Byan’s Connected Vehicle Maps hackathon kit hosted on m2m Demos site to visualize how the solution works.
- Real World Examples
- Fans of boat racing are on the shore, when the boats are out on open water either in the ocean or large lakes, they spectators can’t truly always see what is happening. Bluemix IoT helped create a solution to allow fans to be more engaged and get real-time updates from the boats even when they were not close enough to visually see from shore.
- Solution: SilverHook, Virtual Eye and IBM The SilverHook Telemetry application provides a foundation for Real time processing of telemetry data to monitor the boat for potential failure conditions Logging of all raw telemetry, scores, and generated alerts for post-race analysis Real-time 3D rendering to enhance the fan and team experience The application is built upon multiple Bluemix capabilities, including: Internet of Things Foundation dashDB Scoring service Java / Liberty app server runtime Python buildpack (third party)
- I used the basic boilerplate then I added nodes to check for humidity from the sensor and output to both a Twitter node and a Twilio node (had to create Twilio Bluemix Service as well).
