Part VI Administration

This section covers the administration of your AI Data Platform and its contents.

In order to create and manage AI Data Platform instances, you will need to have an existing cloud account (tenancy) with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and have familiarity with the essential OCI concepts. For more information, see Service Essentials.

Workspaces

A workspace in AI Data Platform acts as an isolated logical container where users can manage and organize their data resources, including workflows, notebooks, and libraries. Workspaces enable efficient collaboration and governance by keeping resources grouped logically.

Networking

The data assets that are read from and written to by your AI Data Platform can be in an OCI virtual cloud network. For more information, see Virtual Cloud Network.

AI Data Platform workspaces can be enabled for a private network where one or more target data assets belong to. Enabling for private networks allows workspaces to access target data assets located in the private network. In order to enable private network for a workspace, you will need three networking related details from your administrator: the existing virtual cloud network of the data asset, the subnet and the network security group.

In order to create an external catalog for a data asset that is in a private network, you will first need to create a workspace enabled for the same private network.

Security and Identity

In order to create, manage or use Oracle AI Data Platform, you will need to have either a local user or federated user credential for console. The existing security features (e.g. Multi factor authentication or MFA) and access control features (e.g. pre-requisite policies, sign-on policies) are applicable for Oracle AI Data Platform in OCI Console. For more information, review the following OCI documentation:

On top of OCI Security and Identity and Access Management, Oracle AI Data Platform implements additional Role Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce fine-grained access control across different resources. In your AI Data Platform, you can define roles and permissions for workspaces, catalogs, and datasets to ensure secure collaboration, including both row and column level permissions.

Limitations

Oracle AI Data Platform implements and manages limits for the resources created and managed by Oracle AI Data Platform.
