How to Begin with MySQL Cloud Service Subscriptions

Here’s how to get started with MySQL Cloud Service trials and paid subscriptions:

  1. Request a trial environment or purchase a subscription to Oracle Cloud Services. See Subscribing to an Oracle Cloud Service Trial, Buying a Metered Subscription to an Oracle Cloud Service, or Buying a Nonmetered Subscription to an Oracle Cloud Service in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.
  2. Set up your Oracle Cloud Services account. See Setting Up a Metered Oracle Cloud Services Account or Buying a Nonmetered Subscription to an Oracle Cloud Service in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.
  3. Verify MySQL Cloud Service is ready to use. See Verifying That Metered Oracle Cloud Services Are Running or Verifying That a Service Is Running in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.
  4. Learn about MySQL Cloud Service users and roles. See About MySQL Cloud Service Roles and Users.
  5. Create accounts for your users and assign them appropriate privileges and roles. See Managing User Accounts and Managing User Roles in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.
  6. Be sure to review the prerequisites described in Before You Begin with MySQL Cloud Service before you create your first MySQL Cloud Service .

Note that an Oracle Public Cloud Services trial environment or purchased subscription comes with Oracle IaaS Public Cloud Services, which provides you access to:

  • Oracle Compute Cloud Service, which MySQL Cloud Service relies on

  • Oracle Storage Cloud Service, which MySQL Cloud Service relies on for backup storage.

Despite the fact that these services are part of the Oracle IaaS Public Cloud Services subscription, use of their features by MySQL Cloud Service are billed to the Oracle Public Cloud Services subscription.
