4.4 Create an Environment

After logging into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console, you need to create an instance or multiple instances that can be used by different user groups as a self-service.

To create an instance, follow these steps:

1. Log into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console.

   This console displays the URLs for different cloud applications under My Applications if they are already created with the following details:

   • • Name: The given name to the cloud application's instance.
     • Type: The type of the instance.
     • Lifecycle status: The status of the instance.
     • Region: The region from where this instance is active.
     • Application URL: The URL to access the instance.

   If the instances are not created, then the console displays Environments number as 0.

2. Click Create environment to display the Create environment screen.

   This screen displays a list of Cloud Services with the details like Subscription ID for which the customer is subscribed to and the Region from where these services are operated.

3. Enter the following details under Environment Details section of the screen:
   • Name: The name of the new environment or instance.
   • Instance type: Select from the following options:
     • Production: A live environment intended for the users.
     • Non-production: An environment that is used for testing and development purposes. For example, a sandbox environment.
     • Test: An additional test environment for testing and dvelopment purposes.

     Note:

     You can have one Production, one Non-Production, and multiple test instances. The number of instances you can create is dependent on the number of contract subscriptions you have purchased.
   • Admin email: The email ID with which you have logged into the Cloud Console. You can also enter a different email ID that is part of the Cloud tenancy. For more details, see Managing Users.
   • Admin first name and Admin last name: The first and last names of the Admin.
4. Click Create.

   The environment details are added to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console under the Environments tab with Creating state. The State change to Avtive state in three or four hours. If there are any issues, you can raise a service ticket with My Oracle Support (MoS).

After the details are displayed with Active state, you can click on the Name to open the Environment details page, where you can check the details. You can click on the Service URL in the details to proceed with User Creation and User Group Creation which are discussed in the subsequent topics.
