IBM Offers Self-Hosted Option for Bob Agentic-Development Platform
IBM has introduced a self-hosted option for its Bob agentic-development platform, allowing enterprises to bring AI development tools closer to sensitive code and their own infrastructure.
The move aims to cater to organizations with specific security and data-residency requirements that make cloud simplicity unfeasible.
The backend of Bob can now operate on customer-run Red Hat OpenShift clusters across on-premises systems, private or sovereign clouds, and air-gapped environments.
IBM's managed cloud offering remains the default for most development teams, but self-hosting targets organizations whose security and data-residency requirements make that route harder.
