Before You Begin with Oracle Cloud Stack

Before using Oracle Cloud Stack you may have to perform certain prerequisite tasks.

  • You must provide an Oracle Cloud identity domain, user name, and password to sign in to Oracle Cloud and access Oracle Cloud Stack. Check your email or contact your Oracle Cloud account administrator for your sign-in credentials.

  • You must have a valid Oracle Cloud account with subscriptions to the cloud resources that you plan to provision as part of your cloud stacks. However, you do not have to explicitly request or purchase a subscription to Oracle Cloud Stack itself in order to use it.

  • In order to edit templates with the Oracle Cloud Stack console, you must first create an object storage container in your cloud account, if one doesn’t already exist. See Creating Containers in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic.
