This article describes How To Install IBM Cloud Developer Tools CLI On Ubuntu Linux
International Business Machines (IBM), is a global technology company that provides hardware, software, cloud-based services and cognitive computing.
Founded in 1911 following the merger of four companies in New York State by Charles Ranlett Flint, it was originally called Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company. It would be renamed to IBM in 1924.
Given that the company is over 100 years old it is no surprise that it has had to adjust to different technological trends throughout the decades.
The company is now transitioning from being an infrastructure player to one that is more cloud and data driven.
Nicknamed ‘Big Blue’, the company offers cloud products in the shape of Bluemix, a SoftLayer cloud, and data analytics, or cognitive computing capabilities, with the Watson supercomputer.
While the company has expanded its portfolio from server hardware, this is still an area that it operates in with the z Series mainframe.
The company also offers software with the likes of its DB2 database offering, and IBM SPSS.
Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams.
A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional web hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour; it is elastic -- a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time; and the service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access). Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet, have accelerated interest in cloud computing.
A cloud can be private or public. A public cloud sells services to anyone on the Internet. (Currently, Amazon Web Services is the largest public cloud provider.)
IBM Cloud is a suite of cloud computing services from IBM that offers both platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
With IBM Cloud IaaS, organizations can deploy and access virtualized IT resources -- such as compute power, storage and networking -- over the internet. For compute, organizations can choose between bare-metal or virtual servers.
With IBM Cloud PaaS -- which is based on the open source cloud platform Cloud Foundry -- developers can use IBM services to create, manage, run and deploy various types of applications for the public cloud, as well as for local or on-premises environments. IBM Cloud supports various programming languages, such as Java, Node.js, PHP and Python and extends to support other languages.
Enable rapid application development and deployment by generating template applications that you can run immediately or customize as the starter for your own solutions.
In this tutorial, you install a set of IBM Cloud™ developer tools, verify the installation, and configure the environment. The IBM Cloud Developer Tools offer a command line approach to creating, developing, and deploying cloud applications.
