Isn't IBM's cloud offering built on top of Cloud Foundry? (Not saying you are wrong, just trying to figure out which partner is to blame)

No. IaaS is Softlayer which they acquired, a mix between VMs and dedicated machines. Worked well before but networking is now obsolete, operations too manual, and any price advantage is long gone.

The rest of their products are managed services running on this, similar to the other clouds, and they work fine for what they are. Bandwidth costs are always the limiting factor though with any cross-cloud situation and their Watson AI is useless and nowhere near what they hype.

Wouldn't matter what it's built on :-)
