Features

Use Multicloud Hub to perform the following actions from the OCI Console:

  • Understand your Multicloud contractual terms.
  • Discover your Multicloud resources across partner cloud providers.
  • Map partner cloud provider grouping and networking constructs to corresponding OCI constructs through resource and network anchors.
