Key Concepts

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers highly available computing power and infrastructure to Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management and Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud. When you purchase new subscriptions, you are provided a tenancy in OCI to provision and maintain your environments. During the order activation process, you can create a tenancy, or if you already have a tenancy, you can assign your subscription to an existing one. After the subscription is assigned, you are ready to create the environments.

Oracle Cloud Console

Oracle Cloud Console is an innovative, fully integrated OCI service that offers self-service capabilities for managing the full lifecycle of your Cloud EPM and Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud environments. It includes features previously available through My Services, and more. Key functionalities include:

  • Creating production and test environments
  • Viewing environment information

  • User and security management (through IAM)

  • Accessing Usage Reports

  • Accessing Compliance Reports

Cloud Account Name

The name of the account that manages your subscription. This account is set up when you activate your subscription. Any subscriptions can be activated into one cloud account. The Cloud Account Name is your tenancy. This value, which cannot be changed, is visible in your login URLs.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

IAM is the service that provides authentication and authorization for OCI resources. See Overview of IAM. You interact with the IAM service when you create users, groups, and policies to manage your environments without worrying about setting up any infrastructure or platform details. This is done using the Oracle Cloud Console.

Identity Domain

A slice of the shared identity management infrastructure where Identity Domain Administrators create and manage users and security. Many subscriptions can be activated to use the same identity domain.

Each OCI IAM identity domain serves as an independent identity and access management solution, designed to manage Cloud EPM and Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud environments. You have the flexibility to create multiple domains and organize your environments across different identity domains.
