IBM Cloud - Free tier + $200 credits
infoAbout This Deal
IBM Cloud is a cloud computing platform offering compute, storage, networking, security, and AI services including Watson APIs. Students at accredited degree-granting institutions can access a free trial account through IBM SkillsBuild by validating their institution credentials.
The free tier includes access to 50+ products with no time limit, no upfront fees, and you only pay for what you use beyond the free tier. Payment details are required at signup, but a nominal hold is placed on your card only to verify authenticity—you won't be charged until you consume a billable service.
Important: adding a credit card converts your trial account to Pay-as-you-go and cannot be reversed, and educational feature codes cannot be used in Pay-as-you-go accounts.
