Adding lifecycle scripts to a course in Course Manager

Use lifecycle scripts to allow Course Manager to execute a script when a lab end user’s Kyndryl Cloud Uplift environment is provisioned or torn down.

You can add lifecycle scripts to a course only if the course is a Lab course (the term Lab in the Course Manager interface is configurable for your account and may be replaced by another term such as Demo).
