This documentation will describe how to Install Odoo on IBM Cloud.

# Requirements/Prerequisites
You will need an IBM Cloud Pay-As-You-Go or Subscription Account type which can be found [here](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-accounts).

# Introduction
This docs will describe how to install Odoo on IBM Cloud. These four steps will be needed as follows:

- Step 1: Provision Kubernetes Cluster
- Step 2: Deploy IBM Cloud Block Storage plug-in
- Step 3: Deploy Odoo
- Step 4: Verify Installation

So let's get started.

## Step 1: Provision Kubernetes Cluster

* Search for **Kubernetes** and select **Kubernetes Service** from the list.
