Prerequisites

You need to obtain the following before you create various Autonomous AI Database resources in Azure Multicloud deployments:

  • An Azure account
  • An OCI account
  • Required OCI IAM Permissions and Azure IAM Permissions.

See Prerequisites for Oracle Database@Azure for more details.

Before you begin provisioning Oracle Database@Azure resources, you need to check if your existing OCI limits will let you deploy the number of Oracle Database@Azure resources you need. Else, you need to request an increase in the service limits. See Service Limits for Oracle Database@Azure for more details.

Creating Autonomous AI Database Resources in Azure Region

With Autonomous AI Database on Oracle Database@Azure, you can perform the following tasks from the Azure console:

Once an EI is provisioned using the Azure console, you can create the Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster (AVMC), Autonomous Container Database (ACD), and Autonomous AI Database resources using the OCI console. For instructions, see:

Managing Oracle Database@Azure Resources

You can manage EI from both the Azure and OCI consoles. However, you can manage AVMC, ACD, and Autonomous AI Database resources using the OCI console only.

Management Functions from the Azure Console

you can use the Azure console for a limited set of management functions listed below.

Management Functions from the OCI Console

You can manage Autonomous AI Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure on Oracle Database@Azure resources (EI, AVMC, ACD, and Autonomous AI Database) from the OCI console. You can navigate to the OCI console in either of the following two ways:

  • As an existing OCI customer with a Multicloud subscription, you can log in directly to the OCI console.
  • As a customer with a Multicloud subscription, you can navigate to the Exadata Infrastructure on Oracle Database@Azure landing page and view the Overview page of the EI in the Azure region. Expanding the Essentials section and then clicking Open in OCI redirects you to the EI resource details page in the OCI console.
You can perform the following actions from the OCI console.
