1 Getting Started
Let’s explore Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise and what you need to know to get started with administration.
About Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise
Oracle Autonomous Mobile Cloud Enterprise (AMCe) is a cloud-based service that provides a unified hub for developing, deploying, maintaining, monitoring, and analyzing your mobile apps, intelligent bots, and the resources they rely on. As a service administrator, you can use this guide to provision, monitor, and maintain AMCe instances.
With AMCe, you complete some fast setup steps, and then Oracle takes care of service management, patching, backup and restore, and other service lifecycle tasks.
-
Core – A set of integrated components that enables developers, managers, and mobile cloud administrators to develop, maintain, monitor, and export your mobile apps and the resources they rely on. The core also includes Oracle Mobile Application Accelerator (MAX), which lets you build an app from APIs and business objects.
-
Intelligent Bots, or chatbots – In essence, a bot is a virtual personal assistant. Bots is a conversational computing platform that enables developers to build bots (that is, apps that run automated tasks) that engage users in natural language conversations and connects them to the enterprise.

Planning Your Work
AMCe is available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). When you order AMCe through Oracle Universal Credits, you automatically get access to other required services, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage, and Oracle Identity Cloud Service.
When you activate your AMCe order, you get the Cloud Account Administrator role. This role gives you full administration privileges on the cloud account, so you can complete all aspects of AMCe setup and create other users. There’s no need to delegate this responsibility, but if you want someone else to set up AMCe, you can add more users and assign them to the required roles. The roles required for individual services are listed in the table.
Here’s some information about how AMCe uses other services that you might find useful:
-
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute
AMCe uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute to store product-related schemas, binary files, and logs.
-
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage
AMCe uses buckets in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage to store any snapshots that you take to back up your content.
-
Oracle Identity Cloud Service
Oracle Identity Cloud Service Foundation is automatically provided when you subscribe to AMCe through Oracle Universal Credits.
