About the Interfaces to Oracle Java Cloud Service

The entire Oracle Java Cloud Service environment, including the WebLogic domain and cluster, and the storage volumes and network settings, is visible and customizable. The following table summarizes the key interfaces to Oracle Java Cloud Service:

Type of Access	Description	More Information
Web browser	Use the Oracle Java Cloud Service Console to create service instances, and to perform lifecycle operations such as backup, restore, and patch. You can also scale a service instance using the same console.	Access Oracle Java Cloud Service Explore the Oracle Java Cloud Service Console
WebLogic Server Administration Console	Use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to deploy and undeploy Java EE applications, and to manage application users and groups.

Load Balancer Console	If load balancing is enabled for an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance, you can use the web console of the load balancer to configure it.	Configure a Load Balancer for a Service Instance
REST API	Use REST API calls to manage Oracle Java Cloud Service from a terminal, script, or custom program.	REST API for Oracle Java Cloud Service
Command Line Interface (CLI)	Use the CLI to manage Oracle Java Cloud Service by using a command-line or script.	psm CLI Reference
Secure Shell (SSH)	Access the nodes of an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance through SSH. After you use SSH to access a node, you can run WLST and other command-line applications within the node.	Access a Node with a Secure Shell (SSH)
Virtual Network Computing (VNC)	Remotely access the graphical desktop of a node in an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance with a combination of VNC client and SSH tunnel.	Connect to a Node with VNC
WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)	Use WLST commands locally or remotely, in online or offline mode. To use WLST commands locally, use SSH to connect to the node on which the Administration Server is running. Then, run the WLST commands from within the node. To use WLST commands remotely, connect to the administration console through port 7002 (if enabled) or create an SSH tunnel to the node. Then, run the WLST commands remotely from your computer against the service instance.	Use WLST to Administer a Service Instance
Integrated Development Environment (IDE)	Deploy applications to an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance from an IDE such as Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse.	Use an IDE to Deploy and Undeploy an Application
Oracle Developer Cloud Service (Not available on Oracle Cloud at Customer)	Oracle Java Cloud Service comes with a complimentary instance of Oracle Developer Cloud Service, which is a cloud-based software development and collaboration platform. It provides source control, issue tracking and continuous integration capabilities. You can use Oracle Developer Cloud Service to automate the deployment of applications to Oracle Java Cloud Service.

Note:

You provide a user name and password for the WebLogic Administrator when you create an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance. By default, the credentials used to access the WebLogic Server Administration Console and WLST are also used to access the Fusion Middleware Control and the Oracle Traffic Director console.
