It provides a consistent hybrid cloud experience by enabling developers to build and manage containerized applications across on-premises environments and public clouds. IBM Cloud Private brings cloud native capabilities to enterprises by allowing them to quickly set up a private cloud using their existing infrastructure, while also integrating with public cloud services. It is built with open standards to avoid vendor lock-in and provides tools for both developers and IT operations teams.
