  1. Then you will be redirected to the OCI Console. We'll use the console in the next task.

  2. You'll also receive two emails from Oracle. One email will be the initial notification that provisioning is underway and it will list important information you will need in this workshop:

    • Cloud account
    • Username
    • Link (button) to access your account

    The other email will be a notification that provisioning is complete. Here is a copy of the final notification:

TASK 2: Sign in to Your Account

When you sign up for an Oracle Cloud account, a user is created for you in Oracle Identity Cloud Service with the username and password you selected at sign up. You can use this single sign-on option to sign in to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and then navigate to other Oracle Cloud services without reauthenticating. This user has administrator privileges for all the Oracle Cloud services included with your account.

  1. Use the account access link in your confirmation email (this provides a shortcut to the sign-in for your account and region). Enter your user name and password and click Sign In. Your username is your email address. The password is what you chose when you signed up for an account.

Alternatively, go to cloud.oracle.com . Enter your Cloud Account Name and click Next. This is the name you chose while creating your account in the previous section. It's NOT your email address. If you've forgotten the name, see the confirmation email. - Click Continue to sign in using the oraclecloudidentityservice.

  • Enter your Cloud Account credentials and click Sign In. Your username is your email address. The password is what you chose when you signed up for an account.

  1. You are now signed in to Oracle Cloud!

Proceed to the next lab.
