IBM Cloud Functions
Based on Apache OpenWhisk, IBM Cloud Functions is a polyglot functions-as-a-service (FaaS) programming platform for developing lightweight code that scalably executes on demand.
Control Plane
Control Plane is a cloud virtualization platform that enables devops teams to compose any combination of cloud infrastructure (bare metal, VMs, k8s, AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI) into one or more AI-native virtual clouds. Applications run at 99.999% availability, backed by an SLA, without added infrastructure complexity. Organizations use it to cut infrastructure costs by 30–50%, eliminate vendor lock-in, and securely deploy workloads, VMs, and AI agents across single-cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments from a single AI-enabled interface.
