* Some IBM Cloud services are available only in select regions. You can bind a service to your cluster only if the service is available in the same region as your cluster. In addition, if you want to create a service instance in the Washington DC zone, you must use the CLI.
* For IAM-enabled services: You must create the service instance in the same resource group as your cluster. A service can be created in only one resource group that you can't change afterward.
* Make sure that the service name is in the format myservice or example.com. Spaces and underscores are not allowed.



2. Check the type of service that you created and make note of the service instance Name.



* Cloud Foundry services:

ibmcloud service list

Example output

NAME service plan bound apps last operation
<cf_service_instance_name> <service_name> spark create succeeded
* IBM Cloud IAM-enabled services:

ibmcloud resource service-instances

Example output

NAME Location State Type Tags
<iam_service_instance_name> <region> active service_instance



You can also see the different service types in your IBM Cloud dashboard as Cloud Foundry Services and Services.
3. Identify the cluster project that you want to use to add your service.

oc get namespaces
4. Bind the service to your cluster to create service credentials for your service that use the public cloud service endpoint and store the credentials in a Kubernetes secret. If you have existing service credentials, use the --key option to specify the name of the credentials. For IAM-enabled services, the credentials are automatically created with the Writer service access role, but you can use the --role option to specify a different service access role. If you use the --key option, don't include the --role option.

If your service supports private cloud service endpoints, you can manually create the service credentials with the private cloud service endpoint, and then use the --key option to specify the name of your credentials.
[Log in to your account. If applicable, target the appropriate resource group. Set the context for your cluster.](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-access_cluster)
2. Make sure that you have the following permissions: IBM Cloud IAM Operator or Administrator platform access role for IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service. The account owner can give you the role by running the following command.

ibmcloud iam user-policy-create <your_user_email> --service-name containers-kubernetes --roles <(Administrator|Operator)>
3. IBM Cloud IAM Administrator platform access role for IBM Cloud Container Registry, across all regions and resource groups. The policy can't be scoped to a particular region or resource group. The account owner can give you the role by running the following command.

ibmcloud iam user-policy-create <your_user_email> --service-name container-registry --roles Administrator
4. If your account [restricts service ID creation](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-restrict-service-id-create), add the Service ID creator role to Identity and Access Management in the console (iam-identity in the API or CLI).
5. If your account [restricts API key creation](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-allow-api-create), add the User API key creator role to Identity and Access Management in the console (iam-identity in the API or CLI).





 Updating your image pull secret 

To update your cluster image pull secret in the default Kubernetes namespace.



1. Get your cluster ID.

ibmcloud ks cluster ls
2. Run the following command to create a service ID for the cluster and assign the service ID an IAM Reader service access role for IBM Cloud Container Registry. The command also creates an API key to impersonate the service ID credentials and stores the API key in a Kubernetes image pull secret in the cluster.
* [Create or retrieve an IBM Cloud API key](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-userapikey&interface=uicreate_user_key). The API key is used to authenticate with the IBM Cloud platform and to determine your permissions for IBM Cloud services.
* [Create or retrieve your SSH key ID](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/ssh-keys?topic=ssh-keys-getting-started-tutorial). You need the 40-digit UUID for the SSH key, not the SSH key name.

Getting started with VMware as a Service 

In this IBM Cloud® for VMware as a Service tutorial, we take you through the process of ordering a VMware as a Service instance by using the IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions user interface. Other operations that you can complete are also listed.

The completion time that is listed for this tutorial considers only the time that you spend ordering the artifacts for a VMware as a Service instance on the user interface. It does not consider waiting times for deployments, for example.



 Before you begin 

Before you start to work with VMware as a Service, review the following information about browser requirements and users accounts.



 Browser requirements 

For more information, see [Browsers](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-prereqs-platformbrowsers-platform).





 User accounts 

You need an IBM Cloud account, which must meet certain requirements.



Table 1. Required user accounts

 Account Description 

 IBMid By using the IBMid, you can have a single login username for all IBM® products and services that you use, including IBM Cloud. VMware Solutions is provided as an infrastructure solution in the IBM Cloud catalog. To access the VMware Solutions console, you must have an IBMid.<br><br>To use your IBMid to log in to the VMware Solutions console, you must associate the IBMid with an IBM Cloud account. When you log in to the console for the first time, you are guided to either associate your existing IBMid with an IBM Cloud account, or to sign up for a new IBM Cloud account. The new IBM Cloud account is automatically associated with your IBMid. You need to go through this process only once.<br><br>If you have problems when you associate your IBMid with an IBM Cloud account, see [Why is my password incorrect?](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-ts_logintoibm) 
 IBM Cloud account To order and use IBM Cloud services, an IBM Cloud account is required. Billing information is associated with the IBM Cloud account.
A user can also use the IAM token endpoint to log in and retrieve their IAM token, as shown in the following example: curl -s 'https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token?grant_type=urn:ibm:params:oauth:grant-type:apikey&response_type=cloud_iam&apikey=<apikey>' -H'Content-Type:x-www-form-urlencoded' -XPOST

This API example uses an IAM API key to request the IAM token and returns the Bearer <token>.

Then, when a user calls a Watson IoT Platform API, they can provide the authorization header Authorization: Bearer <token> in their API calls.



 Generating an IAM token 

You can choose how to automate the creation of the IAM token, depending on how you authenticate with IBM Cloud and the type of IBM Cloud ID that you use.

If you use an unfederated ID, you can choose one of the following options for creating an IAM token:



* IBM Cloud user name and password: You can create a token to fully automate the creation of your IAM access token.
* Generate an IBM Cloud API key: Use IBM Cloud API keys, which are dependent on the IBM Cloud account that they are generated for. You cannot combine your IBM Cloud API key with a different account ID in the same IAM token. To access clusters that were created with an account other than the one your IBM Cloud API key is based on, you must log in to the account to generate a new API key.



If you use a federated ID, you can choose one of the following options for creating an IAM token:



* Generate an IBM Cloud API key: IBM Cloud API keys are dependent on the IBM Cloud account they are generated for. You cannot combine your IBM Cloud API key with a different account ID in the same IAM token. To access clusters that were created with an account other than the one your IBM Cloud API key is based on, you must log in to the account to generate a new API key.
* The iam-identity.profile.create and iam-identity.profile.linkToResource actions for the [IAM identity service](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-iam-service-roles-actionsiam-identity-service).







 Creating an IAM trusted profile for your cluster in the API 

As an account administrator, create a trusted profile in IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management. For more information, see the [IAM documentation](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-create-trusted-profile&interface=ui).

Before you begin: Verify that you meet the [prerequisites](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-pod-iam-identityiam-identity-prereqs).

[Log in to your account. If applicable, target the appropriate resource group. Set the context for your cluster.](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-access_cluster)



1. Create an [IAM trusted profile](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-create-trusted-profile) in IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management. Note the uuid (profile ID) in the output.



* Replace <access_token> with your IBM Cloud token. To get this token from the command line, log in and run ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens.
* Enter a <profile_name> and optional <description> for the IAM trusted profile.
* Replace <account_id> with the ID of your IBM Cloud account. To get this ID from the command line, run ibmcloud account show.

curl -L -X POST 'https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/v1/profiles' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{
"name": "<profile_name>",
"description": "<description>",
3. Click Authorizations.
4. Click Create.
5. Select the Source account. Choose Other account. Then, enter the account ID for the source service. An account ID is a 32 character, unique account identifier.
6. For Source service select Activity Tracker Event Routing and for How do you want to scope the access? select All resources.
7. For Target service select Cloud Object Storage for How do you want to scope the access? select Resources based on selected attributes.
8. Select Service instance and string equals the name of your COS instance.
9. For Service access select Object writer.
10. Click Authorize. Your new service-to-service authorization will be listed in the Manage authorizations view.



Alternately, you can create the service-to-service policy by running the following command:

ibmcloud iam authorization-policy-create atracker cloud-object-storage "Object Writer"

You will only be able to authorize to the IBM Cloud Object Storage instance using the UI. If you want to limit authorization to a specific IBM Cloud Object Storage bucket, you need to configure authorization using the [API](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/atracker?topic=atracker-target_v2_cos&interface=clicos_s2s_api).





 Step 3: Create a target 

After you create the bucket and configure the authorizartion method, you can configure a target. The target defines the COS bucket where auditing events will be routed.

The region identifies the location from which the writing to the bucket will occur. If you want events from all regions to flow to this one COS bucket, then you only require a single target to be defined.

To [create a target](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/atracker?topic=atracker-target_v2_cos&interface=clitarget-create-cli-cos), run the following command:
To learn more about IAM permissions, see [Managing access with IAM](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-iam).
* How do I create an API key?

Complete the following steps:



1. Log in to IBM Cloud with the [IBM Cloud CLI](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-getting-started).

ibmcloud login

If the login fails, run the ibmcloud login --sso command to try again. The --sso parameter is required when you log in with a federated ID. If this option is used, go to the link listed in the CLI output to generate a one-time passcode.
2. Create a [service ID](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iam?topic=iam-serviceids) for your application.

ibmcloud iam service-id-create <SERVICE_ID_NAME> [-d, --description DESCRIPTION]
3. [Assign an access policy](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iam?topic=iam-serviceidpolicy) for the service ID.

You can assign access permissions for your service ID [by using the IBM Cloud console](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iam?topic=iam-serviceidpolicyaccess_new).

To learn how roles map to specific actions, see [Managing IAM access for IBM Cloud Activity Tracker](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-iam).
4. Create a [service ID API key](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/iam?topic=iam-serviceidapikeys).

ibmcloud iam service-api-key-create <API_KEY_NAME> <SERVICE_ID_NAME> [-d, --description DESCRIPTION] [--file FILE_NAME]

Replace SERVICE_ID_NAME with the service ID name.
