    Hi There,
    i don't have any experience as Devops (I'm Security Engineer) so this whole information is pretty new to me.
    i don't understand why or where i need to install Cloud Pack if i already have IBM cloud.
    I'm probably missing something.....
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Daniel,
    Basically, Cloud Packs are sets of targeted packaged products you can use for certain areas like data, management, security...
    These packs are pre-integrated, are supported with Watson AI, and the come in a containerised flavour that allows you to deploy on OpenShift, so they can run almost anywhere were you can run OpenShift Platform. For instance, you can deploy IBM's Cloud Pack for Security into OpenShift on-prem or at a Cloud Service Provider, depending on your preference.
    You probably have already been here, but just in case: https://www.ibm.com/products/cloud-pak-for-security

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Daniel, I would like to supplement Mr. Azaceta's response to you regarding the difference between IBM Cloud, and IBM's Cloud Paks:

    IBM's Cloud Paks accelerates product delivery.  IBM Cloud is that environment in which that acceleration of product delivery transpires.

    Thanks Yvonne,
    so if i understand correctly IBM cloud is like any other cloud provider (AWS, Azure, etc...) & Cloud paks are just a containerized applications?
