- Navigate to the Software Sources list page.
- Ensure you're in the region that you want the source to reside in.
- Select the root compartment.

Select Add vendor software source.
Note
If the option is grayed-out, ensure you've selected the root compartment.
Need the vendor source in a non-root compartment? After adding the source to the service, replicate it to another compartment.

Identify the OS version and architecture of the software source to add:
-
OS vendor: Select the OS vendor. For example, Oracle.

From the list of available sources, select the sources to add to the service.
The Restricted status of a software source can be:
- - (dash): The software source isn't restricted. It can be used by all instance types.
- Unavailable in non-OCI: The software source isn't restricted, but isn't valid for use by on-premises or third-party cloud instances. For example,
ol8_oci_included-x86_64which provides packages only used by OCI instances. - OCI use only: The software source is only available to OCI instances. It can't be used by on-premises or third-party cloud until you add an entitlement.
