--- title: Provision Oracle Autonomous Database description: Learn how to provision an instance of Oracle Autonomous Database in Azure. author: jjaygbay1 ms.author: jacobjaygbay ms.topic: concept-article ms.service: oracle-on-azure ms.date: 08/01/2024 # Customer intent: As an IT administrator, I want to provision an instance of Oracle Autonomous Database in Azure, so that I can efficiently manage my database services within the cloud environment and ensure optimal performance for my applications. --- # Provision an instance of Oracle Database@Azure You provision and manage basic functions for an Oracle Autonomous Database instance on the Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure pane in the Azure portal. More management functions are available in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) console via the link to that database on the Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure pane. ## Prerequisites You must have the following prerequisites before you can provision Oracle Database@Azure: - An existing Azure subscription. - An Azure virtual network with a subnet delegated to the Oracle Database@Azure service (`Oracle.Database/networkAttachments`). - Permissions in Azure to create resources in the region, with the following conditions: - No policies that prohibit the creation of resources without tags. The OracleSubscription resource is created automatically without tags during onboarding. - No policies that enforce naming conventions. The OracleSubscription resource is created automatically with a default resource name. - Oracle Database@Azure purchased in the Azure portal. - An OCI account. For more information, including optional steps, see [Onboard Oracle Database@Azure](https://docs.oracle.com/iaas/Content/database-at-azure/oaaonboard.htm). ## Provision Oracle Database@Azure To provision an Oracle Autonomous Database instance: 1. Go to the Azure portal. 1. Choose one of the following options to begin provisioning your instance of Oracle Database@Azure: - On the home pane for the Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure application, select **Create an Oracle Autonomous Database**. - On the **Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure** pane, select **Create**. The Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure pane shows all your existing instances of Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure and the current status. To see detailed information about an instance of Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure, select the instance in the list. 1. On the **Basics** tab, enter or select the following information: 1. For **Subscription**, select the relevant subscription. 1. For **Resource group**, select an existing resource group, or select the **Create new** link to create a new resource group. 1. For **Name**, enter a name for your instance of Oracle Database@Azure. The name must be unique within your subscription. 1. For **Region**, select the Azure region to use. The current region is automatically selected. If your subscription has access to other regions, the regions appear in the list. 1. Select **Next**. 1. On the **Configuration** tab, enter or select the following information: 1. For **Workload type**, select the relevant option for your Oracle Database@Azure instance. 1. For **Database version**, select from the options that are provided based on your subscription and the currently supported versions of Oracle Database@Azure. 1. For **ECPU count**, select an Elastic Compute Processing Unit (ECPU) count from **2** to **512**. 1. Select or clear the **Compute auto scaling** checkbox for the option to scale the computing allocation automatically up to 512. By default, the checkbox is selected. 1. For **Storage**, set the storage allocation from 1 TB to 383 TB or from 20 GB to 393,216 GB. 1. For **Storage unit size**, select the option to allocate your storage in GB or TB. 1. You select or clear the **Storage auto scaling** checkbox for the option to scale the storage allocation automatically up to 383 TB or 393,216 GB. By default, the checkbox is cleared. 1. For **Backup retention period in days**, set the backup retention days from **1** to **60**. 1. The value for **Username** is set automatically to **ADMIN**. 1. Enter a required password for your **ADMIN** account. The password must be from 12 to 60 characters, and it must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number. The password can't contain the double quote (`"`) character or the word `ADMIN`. 1. For **Confirmed password**, enter a password that matches your previously entered password. 1. For **License type**, select the license type that's required for your subscription. 1. If you select the **Advanced options** checkbox, select values for **Character set** and **National character set** as relevant for your database. 1. Select **Next**. 1. On the **Networking** tab, enter or select the following information: 1. Currently, the value for **Access type** is set automatically to **Managed private virtual network IP only**. 1. For **Managed private virtual network IP only**, you can optionally select the **Require mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication** checkbox. 1. For **Virtual network** and **Subnet**, select existing resources. > [!NOTE] > The selected virtual network must have one subnet delegated to the Oracle.Database/networkAttachments service. 1. Select **Next**. 1. On the **Maintenance** tab, enter or select the following information: 1. The value for **Maintenance patch level** is set automatically. Your Oracle Autonomous Database is patched on a regular and as-needed basis. Patching is done in a manner that should be unnoticeable to you. *Regular* means that the typical patch schedule is applied. For more information, see [View patch and maintenance window information](https://docs.oracle.com/iaas/autonomous-database-serverless/doc/maintenance-windows-patching.html). 1. Enter up to 10 contact email addresses for notification of unplanned maintenance events. 1. Select **Next**. 1. On the **Consent** tab, review the Oracle terms of use and the Oracle privacy policy. Select the **I agree to the terms of service** checkbox, and then select **Next**. 1. On the **Tags** tab, optionally set one or more tags for easier management and to track multiple instances of Oracle Database@Azure. For more information, see [Use tags to organize your Azure resources and management hierarchy](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=873112). Then select **Next**. 1. On the **Review + Create** tab, check the values you entered. Validation automatically occurs on this pane. All validations must pass for the provisioning to start. Even if the validation passes, verify the settings. 1. After your validation is successful and you review your settings, select **Create** to start the provisioning process. 1. On the **Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure** pane, view the status of your provisioning process. When the provisioning process succeeds, select the entry in the list. 1. The basic information for your Oracle Database@Azure instance is shown. You can complete functions that are shared with Azure. For most administrative functions for the database, under **OCI Database URL**, select the **Go to OCI** link.
