Provisioning environments

Use to provision instances of the Skytap environment as needed.

  • Only IBMers can provision an instance, you'll need to log in with your w3ID.

  • You're limited to one request at a time.

  • You can schedule how long you want to keep the instance live.

  • You'll be emailed a link and a password. Distribute these to the lab attendees.

  • There's no cost to running these instances.

  • Instances will automatically suspend after 2 hours of inactivity. Just turn them back on to continue.
