Oracle Cloud Subscription Plan

Overview

Oracle Cloud (OCI) is a platform by Oracle that provides cloud services like computing, storage, databases, networking, and AI tools. It helps businesses run apps, store data, and manage IT systems online instead of on physical servers.

• Known for powerful database services (like Autonomous Database).

• Offers compute, storage, networking, and security tools.

• Supports multi-cloud use (works with Azure, etc.).

• Has free tier and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Package
Requirements

Oracle Cloud requirements vary based on specific services, covering general account setup, Identity and Access Management (IAM), networking, and hardware needs. General prerequisites include a unique email, contact information, payment verification, and specifying tenancy details and an administrator.

FAQS

What is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?
Oracle Could Infrastructure Compute is a web service that provides bare metal and virtual machine (VM) compute capacity that delivers performance, flexibility, and control without compromise. It's powered by Oracle’s next generation internet-scale infrastructure service and is designed to help modern enterprises do more while paying less when developing and running their most demanding applications and workloads in the cloud.

 

What can I do with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute?
Compute enables you to provision compute capacity in minutes through an easy-to-use web console. The bare metal compute instance, once provisioned, provides you access to the host. This gives you the flexibility, control, and performance without compromise needed for your most demanding applications and workloads, all while paying only for what you use.

 

What are regions, availability domains, and fault domains?
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is hosted in regions, each of which contain at least three availability domains. A region is simply a geographic area, such as “Germany” or “US West.” An availability domain is an isolated, fault-tolerant set of resources consisting of at least one data center. Availability domains don't share infrastructure such as a building, power, or cooling. A failure in one availability domain is unlikely to impact the availability of other availability domains.
A fault domain is a grouping of hardware and infrastructure within an availability domain. Fault domains let you distribute your instances so they're not on the same physical hardware within a single availability domain, thereby introducing another layer of fault tolerance. Each availability domain contains three fault domains. A hardware failure or maintenance on Compute hardware that affects one fault domain doesn't affect instances in other fault domains.

 

How long does it take to create an instance?
Compute instances, regardless of shape or size, launch within minutes from the time that you provision them from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console or issue the LaunchInstanceRequest API command.

 

How do I access my instance after it has launched?
You can remotely connect to your instance by using the industry standard secure shell (SSH) protocol with a public-private key pair for authentication for Linux instances. For Windows instances, you can use the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client with a username and password.

 

Can I configure a custom startup script to execute when my instance starts?
Yes. You can run a custom startup script as part of the provisioning workflow by including it in the user_data key/value pair of the metadata attribute in the LaunchInstanceDetails object.
