I have been trying to create a Kubernetes Cluster with my Bluemix account owner but always getting the following error upon creation:
IBM Cloud Infrastructure exception: Your account is currently prohibited from order 'Computing Instances'.
Any idea what the issue is? There seems to be no direct way to getting support from Public Bluemix to address this issue. We opened a ticket but it has not been addressed.
You should contact IBM Bluemix Support for this kind of question. Before you login to the Bluemix Console, there is a Support link.
From the look of the exception. It seen like you are trying to create a "second" kubernetes cluster. If this is what you are trying to do, you will need a SoftLayer account; or your ID in your SoftLayer account is not setup properly.
You need admin rights to create clusters in Bluemix. Just makes sure that you get the admin status and it should work for you. The normal permissions granted to you are that of an user. Hope this helps

This is driving me crazy, been trying to get this to work for 3 days now: I'm trying to connect a kubernetes deployment to my Cloud SQL database in GCP.
Here's what I've done so far:
Set up the cloud SQL proxy to work as a sidecar in my deployment
Created a GKE service account and attached it to my deployment
Bound the GKE service account to my GCP service account
Edited to the service account (to what I can tell) is owner permission
Yet what I run the deployment in GKE I still get:
the default Compute Engine service account is not configured with sufficient permissions to access the Cloud SQL API from this VM. Please create a new VM with Cloud SQL access (scope) enabled under "Identity and API access". Alternatively, create a new "service account key" and specify it using the -credential_file parameter
How can I fix this? I can't find any documentation on how to set up the service account to have the correct permissions with Cloud SQL or how to debug this issue. Every single tutorial I can find ends with "bind your service account" and then stops. Nothing that describes what permissions are needed, and nothing about how to actually connect to the DB from my code (how would my code talk to the proxy?).
Please help
FINALLY got it to work!
Two major pieces that the main article on this (cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/connect-kubernetes-engine) glosses over:
Properly setting up workload identity, for which I found these links to be very helpful:
a) https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/workload-identity
b) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-nws1e4B8M
To connect to the DB you have to have your code use the DB host 127.0.0.1
The installation of the NodeRED bluemix/IBM Cloud starter application fails with an IAM error message complaining about insufficient rights:
FAILED
Server error, status code: 502, error code: 10001, message: Service broker error: You do not have the required permission to create an instance. You must be assigned the IAM Editor role or higher. Contact the account owner to update your access.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
Looks like you don’t have proper IAM access permission. If you are the owner of the account, you can set the required permissions following the steps in this link .If you are not the owner ask the account owner for the permissions.
For best practices, refer this solution tutorial
The issue was actually related to the fact that the bluemix starter application tries to create a lite plan instance of cloudant. In my case, that was not possible because there already was such an instance and you are allowed only one per CF organization.
The solution was to patch the pipeline.yml to create a standard plan instance:
cf create-service cloudantNoSQLDB Standard "${CLOUDANT_NAME}"
I'm having trouble connecting to the Bluemix Object Store using the instructions presented by this link: https://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/connect-object-storage-using-sftp
It's unclear to me what the username and account ID are so I would appreciate it if someone can clarify
The instructions are valid
Where I can find the values for SLOS/IBMOS etc?
I do not have access to the Softlayer customer portal as this service as created in Bluemix.
I can confirm that an sftp server is listening at the appropriate region endpoint.
Brien, it is not possible to use SFTP to access the Bluemix Object Storage if you create it from the Services catalog area of the Bluemix UI:
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/services/object-storage
This one can be accessed via swift cli or REST API.
To use SFTP to access your Object Storage you need to create it from the Infrastructure are of the Bluemix UI - that is the legacy Softayer that is now integrated with Bluemix.
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/infrastructure/object_storage/
Also, to create the Object Storage from the Infrastructure catalog you need to first link your Bluemix and Softlayer accounts:
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/admin/softlayerlink.html
I have created a space and a BigInsight cluster on Bluemix. In order to test Knox, I need multiple users for authentication. Is it possible to create users in Bluemix Biginsight service? The ID that is provided to access the cluster does not have root access. Also, it would be helpful if someone can explain in detail how the admin-related task(adding more components like Hue,Drill using yum commands) could be performed in Bluemix Biginsights service. Thanks in advance.
I am guessing here that you have created a Bluemix Biginsights Basic (Beta) plan.
This service is a single user service and cannot have multiple users.
In addition this service is a managed service and installation of software by the user is not allowed.
This service comes with preconfigured settings and pre-installed softwares that is fixed. If you do need something apart from this, I would suggest to open a Biginsights service ticket through Bluemix Support page with a request for it and why you need the software.
The product management team will look at it and see if they can be preinstalled in the future release.
These installations will not be done on a any Basic (Beta) plan for individual clusters.
I am trying to add Blockchain service (Starter Developer Plan) to my Bluemix account (megjain9#in.ibm.com). While I select to create an instance, I am getting an error as shown in below screen shot.
Could you please check and advise the needful?
Blockchain Service Error on Bluemix
Thanks,

The Blockchain service is currently experiencing an outage, due to a network failure.
Service status is listed on the https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/support/#status, check this page for updates on a resolution.
