Current IBM Cloud employee here . There is a good amount of insider information in this article. Most of it is true. But one big omission is that genesis was actually designed to use a torus network topology with no top of rack switches. Yeah no idea who cooked that idea up. The current issues with the v2 cloud are ibm trying to use kuberneties and other tech because google does . We could do better if we just did our own thing . Also ibm has too many saas tools from outside vendors . For a company who is/was known for software development it’s a shame we have ended up here . One last thing the power cpu offering is being converted from supermicro/tyan to system z ; and will be called ZaaS
