IBM Cloud Concepts

https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-whatis-platform

IBM Cloud platform is composed of multiple components that work together to provide a consistent and dependable cloud experience.

A robust console that serves as the front end for creating, viewing, managing your cloud resources
An identity and access management component that securely authenticates users for both platform services and controls access to resources consistently across IBM Cloud
A catalog that consists of hundreds of IBM Cloud offerings
A search and tagging mechanism for filtering and identifying your resources
An account and billing management system that provides exact usage for pricing plans and secure credit card fraud protection

setting up the basics in your account:

User access groups for organizing users and service IDs into one entity to make assigning access a streamlined process.
Resource groups for organizing your resources to make assigning access to a set of resources quick and easy.
Access policies for your access groups or individual developers who need IAM access policies or Cloud Foundry org and space roles.
