Get started in three steps

A step-by-step guide to run you through the steps required to get started on CUDO Compute.

Step 1: Set up your account and generate an API key

  1. Create an account at compute.cudo.org or log in if you already have one.
  2. Verify your email address.
Create an API key and save it somewhere secure.
Your API key is like a password, keep it safe and don’t share it with anyone.

Step 2: Create a billing account and project

To start deploying resources you’ll need to create a billing account. These steps are all included in the onboarding displayed in the console after registering.
  1. From the dashboard, navigate to the Billing section and create a new billing account.
  2. Add a payment method to your billing account.
Next, you’ll need a project to deploy resources into. You can create a new project from the dashboard.
Projects use global IDs, so make sure to note yours!

Step 3: Start deploying resources

You can deploy resources using the web dashboard or programmatically using our CLI tool or REST API.
Check out our API reference for more details on how to use the API.
