Use the provisioning wizard to conveniently provision instances to use in Oracle SOA Cloud Service.
To provision instances, you run a simple provisioning wizard that provides you with a choice of service types (standalone Oracle SOA Suite with technology adapters, standalone Oracle Service Bus with technology adapters, or Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Service Bus together with technology adapters) and node configuration. You can also choose to install the Integration Analytics Cluster, or Oracle Managed File Transfer Cluster.
The SOA Cloud Service environment provides Oracle SOA Suite versions 12.1.3 and 12.2.1.2 on a single virtual machine, Oracle WebLogic Server default configurations, simplified provisioning for a single node instance, self-management tools, and secure shell (SSH) access to the virtual machine. The environment also provides simplified node cluster provisioning; simplified configuration to preexisting DBaaS and SaaS environments; and cloud self-management tools for automated backup/recovery, patching, and scaling, local and central monitoring and management, centralized provisioning, comprehensive APIs, and upgrading.
Oracle handles all node provisioning, installation, and domain configuration after you make your selections. There are some prerequisites that you have to address before you provision. They are described in Prerequisites to Provisioning Oracle SOA Cloud Service.
