Prerequisites for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic

Before creating an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, there are several prerequisites that must be completed.

Before you begin using Oracle SOA Cloud Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, you must have:

  • A subscription to Oracle Database.
  • A subscription to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic.
  • A secure shell (SSH) public/private key pair.

Oracle Database

Oracle SOA Cloud Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic supports the following databases:

  • Oracle Database Classic Cloud Service, with or without Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC)

    Note:

    If you use RAC, you will need to create an Oracle Database Classic Cloud Service instance using the standard service level and the database edition called Enterprise Edition - Extreme Performance.

  • Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service

For details about the database options supported by Oracle SOA Cloud Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, see Database.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic

You need to have subscription to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic to store your instance backups.
