Level 1 · Entry Foundations

Goal: get comfortable with the ibmcloud CLI and IAM, stand up compute, storage, networking, a database, and a serverless function on the free Lite tier, and ship a small end-to-end project — with everything torn down cleanly at the end so nothing keeps billing.

Modules

1. Setup & the ibmcloud CLI
2. IAM & Security Basics
3. Virtual Servers (VPC)
4. Cloud Object Storage
5. VPC Networking Basics
6. Cloud Databases
7. Cloud Functions
8. Monitoring & Log Analysis
9. Schematics (Terraform IaC)
10. Capstone Project

By the end of this level you'll be able to provision and secure core IBM Cloud resources from the command line, wire them together into a small working application, observe it, describe it as code, and clean it all up without leaving anything running on your account.
