New WatsonX Account and Keys in Repo Secrets

[fayvor]

• Sign up for a new WatsonX Account with the free ("Lite") plan
• Add WatsonX Machine Learning "Lite" plan
• Create a User API Key
• Add Watson Machine Learning service (Watsonx -> Projects -> Manage -> Services & Integrations -> Add Service (see https://youtu.be/3sav6vUG_XQ?t=278)
• Create an Instance API Key and save the key (IBM Cloud > Manage (top bar) > Access(IAM) > Manage identities (left nav) > API keys
• Create a Project and get its project id from the projects page > [Select Project] > Manage > General > Details

Add the following env vars to the utils and granite-code-cookbook repos:

• WATSONX_APIKEY: the api key (not the key id, which starts with ApiKey)
• WATSONX_URL: probably "https://us-south.ml.cloud.ibm.com", the Dallas region
• WATSONX_PROJECT_ID: the project id

i am unable to complete this. I go into my IBM Cloud account search watsonx, click getting started- it takes me to a login page- i try to login and it says i already have an account. Un assigning myself

@rawkintrevo yeah, the product setup and login flow is pretty convoluted. Let's meet tomorrow and walk through it together.

I was able to create the needed values with a new "lite" plan tied to my apingel@thealliance.ai address. I believe these may be lost if unused for 30 days, but given that these will be used in automated tests, that shouldn't be a problem.

Current secretes available in the utils repo:

As just discussed with @fayvor, the WatsonX recipe will be published to the utils repo (and tested there), so we do not plan to distribute these values to other repositories at this time.

I put in a ticket for a recipe to instruct the user how to register on WatsonX, set up a project, and get their api key: https://github.com/ibm-granite-community/pm/issues/135
