I am learning NodeRED by following Taiji Hagino's book "Practical Node-RED programming" and I wish to follow his instructions on Chapter 6 therein, about Implementing Node-RED in the cloud. Here as per his instructions, I have created my account on ibm-cloud. However I am very new here. The hurdle I face is about getting to Menu at top-left > App Development > Get a Starter Kit button. The IBM-cloud dasboard now looks rather different and I can't locate the starter Kit or access Node-RED or select an Application Starter Kit. How do I find my way around to where these things are kept on ibm-cloud these days?
Could this be the problem?

That is indeed the problem. So How do I learn about implementing Node-RED in the cloud. Is there any work-around?
There is this (but paid)
If you are in the process of learning Node-RED, it's quite simple to install on your local machine.
I remember reading somewhere here in the forum about installing Node-RED in Oracle Cloud, in a free tier

Here are the directions for Oracle Cloud

And the forum discussion that references this site
I think if not mistaken, that it is a matter of setting up a Node-RED application on a Docker or Kubernetes container and deploying that image on the cloud. Well l am going to check out that approach.
