Hello, Data and AI enthusiasts!
At Think 2023, IBM announced watsonx, which is an upcoming enterprise-ready AI and data platform designed to multiply the impact of AI across your business. The platform has three components: the watsonx.ai studio for new foundation models, generative AI, and machine learning; the watsonx.data fit-for-purpose store for the flexibility of a data lake and the performance of a data warehouse; and the watsonx.governance toolkit to enable AI workflows that are built with responsibility, transparency and explainability. This month’s newsletter highlights each of these components. You can join the waitlist to stay up to date on watsonx.
watsonx.data
Watsonx.data makes it possible for enterprises to scale analytics and AI, with a fit-for-purpose data store optimized for governed data and AI workloads.
watsonx.governance
Watsonx.governance employs software automation to strengthen your ability to mitigate risk, manage regulatory requirements, and address ethical concerns without switching your data science platform.
Unlike on AWS Lightsail where you can have Plesk installed without a paid Plesk license, IBM Cloud does not have this facility as of now.
In other words, the web admin software by Plesk (Plesk Hosting Stack on Ubuntu) that is provided for free in AWS Lightsail is not available with IBM Cloud.
Update: 4 Jan 2023
Similar to AWS, IBM too classifies partners under developers and consultants category. For developers, there is IBM PartnerWorld Build Track.
“As a member of IBM PartnerWorld, you can join the Build Track and unlock a variety of benefits including proactive reach out from the partner support desk, program welcome information and onboarding.”
To be precise, IBM PartnerWorld offers three tracks:
You can join all the three at the same time.
Just like AWS in which you can follow the course roadmap prescribed as part of AWS certifications while joining as AWS Partner, so is the case with IBM that offers multiple ways to associate and grow.
After getting approved for Startup with IBM program, we registered for IBM PartnerWorld. Just like AWS Partner, Microsoft Partner have free and paid tiers, so is the case here. Under partnership programs, however, it appears that IBM PartnerWorld is more liberal in offering freebies, AWS Partner coming close, and Microsoft Partner far behind.

The bad news is that within few days, this credit was reversed on the ground of not meeting the criteria. Although the exact reason was not given, still I understand it was because we were not aligned with their list of accelerators/incubators. While applying, the form for the IBM startup credit is still submitted even if you ignore this field by just selecting one random option from the list of accelerators/incubators (unfair thing to do).
After incorporating a private limited company in UK with a UK phone number (took help of Icon Offices that include registering for their virtual office address and company formation services), we thought to once again apply for Startup with IBM program from a new IBM account. This time, although we still needed to fill a field that asked if associated with an accelerator/incubator, the process appeared different. Since registered with InnMind, mentioned the same. GST/VAT was not mandatory unlike while applying from India. No confirmation email of approval to the startup plan that we earlier received. Yet, received the 1k $ per month credit for 12 months just after pressing the submit button for an offer that popped up as payment option was entered.
The bad news once again is that this account is deactivated within less than a week, immediately after being approved for their PartnerWorld program.
No reason is cited! It is up to the readers to decide if it is a fair system. Why the credit will be given in the first place without prior checks?
Interestingly, if I go to the IBM Cloud Support through the link on the email or try to access the account, I will be logged out.
This is quite different from Amazon AWS or Microsoft that appears more customer friendly.
Though the IBM account no more operational because of being expired, canceled, suspended, yet keep getting on email coupons codes and updates:
