IBM Cloud Pak for Data 2.5: Bringing open source to the core

It's been an exciting time for IBM. We recently made the biggest software acquisition in history. Very rarely have I seen any big organization move so quickly and decisively to embrace open source and build a prescriptive methodology to modernize IT workloads. A key part of this strategy is Cloud Pak for Data, our modern Data and AI platform. We are extremely excited for this release, as it brings to a head three key areas we've been building for over the last year and a half: Red Hat integration, new key built-in capabilities and a heavy focus on open source.
