Basically a set of fine-tuned virtual machine images for Amazon Cloud.

Yeah, I was hoping that this would be an nvidia managed cloud platform as a new competitor in the space. With only AWS, Azure, and Google there is definitely room for another deep learning cloud competitor. But this announcement makes sense in the context of the new AWS P3 instances, so there is definitely a partnership going on that nvidia wouldnt break from.

Bluemix is SaaS/PaaS, not IaaS.

But can we use it to play games? You know, for research..

There’s also GeForce now. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/geforce-now/ma...

There’s a public beta for macs. It’s dope as fuck. Like smooth as the fucking butter. Integrates with steam and battle.net. So you can play your games. Free in beta. I’ve been telling everyone I know about it. I can play pubg on ultra settings. There’s an extremely occasional skip but playing natively would do that too. I know I sound like a shill but it’s been a while since a product let alone beta blew me away this much.

I wonder how they did it cause the latency is very small. But maybe I’m just a noob.

On an tangential note this product has insane potential. Like they could do their own steam and basically own the whole gaming pipeline from the publishing to the platform users play on.

IBM Bluemix got an IaaS layer as well. It was previously called softlayer, but is now wrapped under the Bluemix brand.
