Workflow for Using Oracle Compute Cloud Service

Oracle Compute Cloud Service provides you with Infrastructure as a Service solution that is designed for your business-critical workloads. Your Oracle Cloud administrator creates tenants, sets up networks, adds users to tenants, and designates users as tenant administrator or tenant user. Tenant users then create orchestrations. Each orchestration provisions one or more instances and links them to other existing cloud resources such as compute shapes, machine images, SSH keys, storage volumes, and networks.

A typical workflow to set up the cloud infrastructure, and use the Oracle Compute Cloud Service is described in the following illustration.

To perform the tasks described in each step, a user requires different roles:

  • Steps 1 through 5 are performed by your Oracle Cloud Administrator

  • Step 6 can be performed either by users designated as tenant administrators or by your Oracle Cloud Administrator

  • Steps 7 through 14 are performed by tenant users or tenant administrators
