Get started

This section takes you from nothing to a running workload. It should take about 20 minutes end to end.

Scaffold status

These pages are the agreed structure for Phase 1. Command output and screenshots are filled in as each flow is verified against the live platform.

The path

1. Core concepts — projects, clusters, zones and the object model. Read this once; everything else assumes it.
2. Accounts & projects — sign up, create a project, invite your team.
3. Access the platform — web console, the oc CLI, API tokens.
4. Deploy something — pick a tutorial that matches what you are building.

Before you begin

You will need:

• A GRN.CLOUD account and at least one project — see Accounts & projects
• A terminal with oc installed — see Access the platform
• Basic familiarity with containers; you do not need prior OpenShift experience
