Get to Know the Console

Use the Service links section to quickly navigate to OCI services that you pinned or recently visited. This section also includes recommendations based on your profile selections when you customize the Console.

Use Quickstarts to quickly launch and try real solutions while learning about OCI services and capabilities. Quickstarts automate the process of provisioning resources in your tenancy, so that you can launch complete solutions from the Console home page.

Because Quickstarts use open source tools, you can also use the Quickstarts as sandboxes or as starting points for more complex deployments. The Quickstarts use Oracle Resource Manager, OCI's managed Terraform service. Terraform automation manages the components and is packaged as a reusable stack that you can use to modify the applications and deployments.

You can also use Resource Manager to apply the same steps used by the Quickstarts to build your own stacks for consistent and repeatable deployments.

Use the Launch resources tiles to navigate directly to common tasks, such as creating a VM instance, setting up a network with a wizard, and setting up a load balancer. Use these links to set up your environment.

The Start exploring section provides links to tutorials, developer tools, and blog posts that demonstrate how to use OCI to build solutions.

• In the Get started category, find introductory materials that you can use to learn more about basics, such as information about virtual training classes, key concepts, and introductory demos.
