Getting Started With MySQL Database Service

Use the Console to create a virtual cloud network (VCN) and DB system, and then use a compute instance, VPN connection, Bastion session, or network load balancer to connect to the DB system.

This task requires the following:
  • A tenancy, which you are able to sign in.
  • A compartment to store the resources. You can store everything in the root of the tenancy, but it is recommended to use the compartments.
  • Policies to control the resources. See Creating Mandatory Policies.
Perform the following steps:
  1. Create a virtual cloud network (VCN) using the VCN Wizard. See Creating a Virtual Cloud Network.
  2. Add ingress rules to the VCN. See Adding Ingress Rules.
  3. Create a DB system and attach it to the newly created private subnet. See Creating a DB System.
  4. Connect to the DB system using a compute instance, VPN connection, Bastion session, or network load balancer. See Connecting to a DB System.
