    ℹ️ Note: Participants in the TechXchange lab will be provided with user credentials to access a paid IBM Cloud account for the duration of the lab.

    ❗ Important: If you are an existing active user of IBM Cloud, and if you are provided with user credentials for this lab, ensure that you do not have an existing active session on cloud.ibm.com using your own credentials prior to accessing the provided login page. If needed, log out from your existing session (top right icon in the IBM Cloud Console -> Log out) first.

  2. A personal API Key associated with a user with the following permissions.

    ℹ️ Note: The user account provided in the TechXchange lab already has got the necessary permissions. Participants in the TechXchange lab only need to create an API Key as described below.

3. Enter a name and description for your API key.
4. Click Create
5. Then, click Show to display the API key.

❗ Important: Please save the generated API key for later use in the labs. The API key is only available to be copied or downloaded at the time of creation. If the API key is lost, you can re-create a new API key.

  • Terraform
  • Text editor of your choice
