Step 2: Read the below sample Paragraph:
Bluemix is an implementation of IBM’s Open Cloud Architecture, based on Cloud Foundry, that enables you to rapidly create, deploy, and manage your cloud applications. Because Bluemix is based on Cloud Foundry, you can tap into a growing ecosystem of runtime frameworks and services. Bluemix provides a dashboard for you to create, view, and manage your applications and services as well as monitor your application’s resource usage. The Bluemix dashboard also provides the ability to manage organizations, spaces, and user access. Bluemix provides access to a wide variety of services that can be incorporated into an application. Some of these services are delivered through Cloud Foundry. Others are delivered from IBM and third party vendors. New and enhanced services are added to the catalog often.

Some of the commonly used runtimes are Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby. Support for other languages can be added with the help of buildpacks. For developers, Bluemix further optimizes the time you spend creating cloud application. You no longer have to be concerned about installing software or having to deal with virtual machine images or hardware. With a few clicks or keystrokes, you can provision instances of your applications with the necessary services to support them. For organizations, Bluemix provides a cloud platform that requires very little inhouse technical knowhow as well as cost savings. Bluemix provides the rapid development environment organizations need to react to users’ demands for new features. It helps companies to move with speed and agility across any combination of public, private, and onpremise cloud. For users, Bluemix represents the key that enables organizations to quickly deliver the features they demand.
