New and Changed Features in Applications Console and Infrastructure Classic Console

| Accessing Oracle Cloud services from the Oracle Cloud web console |
All Infrastructure (IaaS) services and platform (PaaS) services are available directly from the Infrastructure Console. If you see Infrastructure Classic at the top of the page when you sign in to Oracle Cloud, then you are using the Infrastructure Classic Console to access your services and your subscription does not support access to the Infrastructure Console. My Services application is now rebranded as Infrastructure Classic Console. All Oracle Cloud Applications are available from the Applications Console. See Navigate to Your Cloud Services in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud. |
| Changes in the Dashboard |

| Changes in the left navigation menu | In addition to accessing services from the navigation menu on the left, you can now switch between the different consoles or dashboards to work with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Application services. On the left navigation menu, under Dashboards you'll find the consoles listed depending on your subscriptions. See Switch Between the Consoles in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud. |
