Element | Description |

Instance Name |
The name for the new database deployment. The name:
|
Description |
(Optional) A description for the new database deployment. |
Notification Email |
(Optional) An email address where you would like updates about the deployment-creation operation to be sent. |
Region |
(Available only if your identity domain is enabled for regions.) The region for the database deployment. If you choose a region that supports Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, the Availability Domain and Subnet fields are displayed, and the deployment will be created on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Otherwise, the deployment will be created on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic. Choose No Preference to let Database Classic Cloud Service choose an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic region for you. |
Availability Domain |
(Available only on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) The availability domain (within the region) where the database deployment will be placed. |
Subnet |
(Available only on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) The subnet (within the availability domain) that will determine network access to the database deployment. |
IP Network |
(Available only if you have selected an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic region and you have defined one or more IP networks created in that region using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic.) Select the IP network where you want the database deployment placed. Choose No Preference to use the default shared network provided by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic. For more information about IP networks, see these topics in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic: |
Assign Public IP |
(Available only if you have selected an IP network.) Choose whether to assign public IP addresses to the compute nodes in your database deployment. If you select this check box (default), then any node added during deployment creation, or later added as part of a scaling operation, will have a public IP address assigned to it. You will be able to directly access the nodes from the public Internet. If you deselect this check box, then any node added during deployment creation, or later added as part of a scaling operation, will not have a public IP address assigned to it. You will not be able to directly access the nodes from the public Internet. This selection is for use cases where you intend to access the nodes and the database only from within your IP network or from your on-premises data center over a VPN network. |
License Type |
(Available only in accounts that use the Universal Credits payment model) Controls how the right to use Oracle Database on the new deployment is established. To use the "Bring Your Own License" (BYOL) feature, which enables you to use an existing perpetual Oracle Database license to establish the right to use Oracle Database on a deployment, select My organization already owns Oracle Database software licenses. Bring my existing database software license to the Oracle Database Cloud Service. Your Oracle Cloud account will be charged a lesser amount for the new deployment because the right to use Oracle Database is covered by your perpetual license agreement. To use your Oracle Cloud account, select Subscribe to a new Oracle Database software license and the Oracle Database Cloud Service. Your account will be charged for the new deployment according to your Oracle Database Cloud Service agreement. |
