Create a QuickStart Instance in Database Cloud Service

Before You Begin

This tutorial shows you how to create a database deployment by using a QuickStart template. This tutorial takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. It typically takes 30 minutes to provision a database deployment.

Background

Oracle Database Cloud Service provides you the ability to deploy Oracle databases in the Cloud, with each database deployment containing a single Oracle database. You have full access to the features and operations available with Oracle Database, but with Oracle providing the computing power, physical storage and (optionally) tooling to simplify routine database maintenance and management operations.

What Do You Need?

To get started, you need valid credentials for an Oracle Cloud account that has an active subscription to Oracle Database Cloud Service.

Access the Create Instance Window

1. Sign in to Oracle Cloud.
2. On the Dashboard, select Create Instance.

   

3. On the Create Instance window, select the Quick Start Services tab. Click Create for the Database service.

   

Create a Database Deployment

1. The database instance name is automatically generated for you. Select the edition of your choice and click Create.

   

2. Click Download to download to your local machine the SSH key pair and access credentials that have been automatically generated.

   

3. Then click Create.

   

Monitor Instance Creation

1. On the Oracle Database Cloud Services page you can see that the service creation has begun.

   

2. Periodically click the Refresh icon on the right side of the page until the service no longer shows a status of Waiting or Creating Service.
3. Click the instance name to view details of your new Oracle Database Cloud Service instance.
