# Step 0: Get your IBM Cloud Account

## Getting Super Powers

In order to complete this workshop, you'll need a free IBM Cloud login.

You can create an account here: [ibm.biz/openshift-mar2020](https://ibm.biz/openshift-mar2020)

{% hint style="info" %}
If you already have an IBM Cloud account that was created in the last year or two, you can log into that account.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't remember your prior IBM Cloud account credentials, the best thing is to create a new, free account with a different email address.
{% endhint %}

Once you've filled out the form, you should see the following confirmation screen:
