- 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.

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