What happens when you add cognition to your cloud resources? This can be similar to asking what an ideal scenario for optimized cloud may look like.  Sometimes it’s good design, often good operations and seldom anti-pattern.

One can add cognition to your cloud by-

• Adding context driven analytics leveraging engines from IBM Watson, Google analytics or custom models.
• Bring in Deep learning to unravel patterns otherwise easily missed by only relying on single source of truth i.e. data.
• Combine structured and unstructured dark data for analysis to get associations and relationships helpful to your business.
• Incorporating multiple streams of data like IoT sensors to social and mobile data feeds into the “learning” algorithm.
