IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers - VPC

Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud for hosting our clients' host business applications. Mostly, they are internal business applications. In addition, we host a number of small web apps. We also use IBM Cloud VPC to develop POCs.
  • Easy to use and build
  • Clear costing model
  • Multiple regions
  • Unclear error message (e.g. when creating a VPC network with access to Classic resources is enabled)
  • Limited compute profiles compared to classic (e.g. no Variable compute profiles available)
  • Moving from CAPEX to OPEX
  • Provide foundation for innovation and enable prototyping
  • IBM Cloud Databases
  • IBM API Connect
IBM Cloud VPC is a good option for building and deploying a hybrid cloud strategy.

IBM Cloud Support and Implementation

Overall, the experience is good. The main issue is no wide compute profile options available.
