In this chapter, we will provide a brief introduction to the IBM Cloud platform and the services that it offers, such as machine learning (ML). Moreover, this chapter will provide detailed instructions on how to set up a data science and machine learning development environment on the IBM Cloud. Finally, we will conclude with a project example that involves loading and visualizing data.
We'll break down this first chapter into the following sections:
- Understanding IBM Cloud
- The IBM Cloud and Watson Machine Learning services
- Setting up the environment
