IBM Watson gives you access to IBM Watson Studio, IBM Watson Knowledge
Catalog, the data refinery, machine and deep learning, visual recognition models,
dashboards and streams flows. At https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/
you can sign up for a free trial. When you sign up for an IBM Watson account
you are automatically signed up for a free IBM Cloud account. Here you see the
Watson applications that will be provisioned. IBM Watson Studio and IBM
Watson Knowledge Catalog. If you already have an IBM cloud account
then use your IBM ID to sign up for IBM Watson.

account for you. On the next screen you are redirected to
the IBM cloud registration page where you need to provide the typical basic
information for an account then click create account.
Now check your email and confirm your account.
Now that you've registered for IBM cloud you can use those same credentials to
sign-in. Next you'll see the process create the
IBM Watson user account using your IBM cloud credentials and finally you'll see
that your account was successfully created.
This IBM account has only one Associated IBM cloud account and one resource group.
If you have more than one associated account or one account with multiple
resource groups then during the Watson Studio account setup you'll see this
screen giving you the option to select an account and resource group to use.
IBM Cloud uses resource groups as a way for you to organize your account resources
in customizable groupings so that you can quickly assign users access to more
than one resource at a time. View the settings to verify the
applications and services that are provisioned.
Now you're ready to start working in IBM Watson.
