Here is a good 10 min video about “Creating and Destroying an Instance using IBM Cloud Virtual Servers” by using the IBM Cloud classic infrastructure. The video contains essential practical basics and is created by LearnToday. The screen resolution is not the best, but it’s ok.

Here are the major section and direct links to some of the content.
