Bluemixed-bag of a review!

All the micro-services that are running to keep our VoIP platform alive are deployed over Bluemix. It provides seamless integration with our deployment model and reduces much of the hassle involved in the deployment process. Compared to a privately hosted infrastructure, a cloud solution the likes of Bluemix provides more flexibility while reducing cash burn.

Most of the other Cloud Computing Platforms are closely tied to their cloud providers, but CloudFoundry has the option to be deployed and used from anywhere. Be it AWS, OpenStack servers or HP Helion. In BlueMix, CloudFoundry encapsulates the core of the infrastructure and simply lets you concentrate on the application and the services that you're building. This leads to improved productivity and you deploying your application within seconds.

Containerisation is essential to all organisations that embrace rich DevOps. With recently introducing Kubernetes to its container service, Bluemix is essentially state of the art in terms of micro-service orchestration. It let's your service be deployed into micro-services without any downtime and ease of scaling by replication and migration.

Not using OpenWhisk as of now. But looking forward to using it.
