2.1.2.3 Create an Environment

After logging into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console, you can create one or multiple instances that can be used by different user groups.

To create an instance, follow these steps:

1. Log into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console.
   Under My Applications, you will see the list of environments (instances) provisioned for the one or multiple cloud applications. The following details are provided for each environment:

   • Name: The given name to the cloud application's instance.
   • Type: The type of the instance.
   • Life cycle status: The status of the instance.
   • Region: The region from where this instance is active.
   • Application URL: The URL to access the instance.
2. To create a new environment, click Create environment.
   This screen displays a list of Cloud Services to which the customer has subscribed and the Region from where these services are operated.

   Note:

   If Region selection drop-down is displayed, then you must select the appropriate Region as follows.

   • US East (Ashburn) for United States of America
   • Japan East (Tokyo) for Japan
   • Australia east (Sydney) for Australia

   If you are not sure about the Region, contact My Oracle Support (MoS).

3. Under Environment Details, enter the following information:
   • Name: The name of the new environment or instance.
   • Instance type: Select from the following options:
     • Production: An environment that will be tagged as Production and can be used for Production activities.
     • Non-production: An environment that will be tagged as Non-production and which will be used for testing and development purposes. For example, a sandbox environment.
   • Admin email: The email ID with which you have logged into the Cloud Console. You can also enter a different email ID that needs to be 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 (visible in the LHS menu). It may take a few hours for the State to change to Active. If there are any issues, you can raise a service ticket with My Oracle Support (MoS) .

After the environment becomes active i.e., the State column displays Active, you can click on name link to open the Environment details page, and view the details. Under Environment Information, click the Service console URL to create users and groups.
