Create an Account As with every online service that we use, the first step often involves creating an account to manage our activities, monitor costs, and make payments. While the process for registering an Oracle Cloud account has evolved over the last few years, this chapter provides guidance and explanations based on the most recent instructions from Oracle that, I am confident, will help you successfully set up your account. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) console is the window to all your Oracle Cloud resources. To access the console, users will need either an Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) or OCI account. During registration, an Oracle IDCS account is created. It has full administrative access to your OCI console including managing billing information. Hence, great care must be taken to ensure that the credentials do not fall into the wrong hands. Choose a password that goes beyond the minimal requirements listed later in this chapter and store it securely.
Process Signing up for an Oracle Cloud Free Tier account is simple. However, before you begin, ensure that you have the following: 1. An email address that has not previously been used to sign up for an Oracle Cloud account 2. A mobile number that you have access to 3. A valid credit card Start by going to the URL https://oracle.com/cloud/free using your preferred web browser, and then click the Start for free button (Figure 1-1).

Create an Account
Figure 1-2. Provide an email address and select the country/territory the account is registered from It is important that the email entered is not currently associated with an Oracle Cloud account, or an error will be triggered. After the country/territory is selected, the page is updated with the amount of free credits available for the 30-day trial in your local currency. The amount would be the equivalent of USD 300. Click Next to proceed to the next page.
Note After entering your email address, a pop-up message may inform you that additional trial credits and/or terms are available to you. These additional credits and terms are preassigned by an authorized Oracle employee under special circumstances, for example, participation at an Oracle event. These credits will be available to you upon successful creation of the account. Select the Account Type, whether the account is for company or personal use. Make sure to choose the appropriate account type as it helps Oracle determine how it is set up and assigned to the appropriate account managers for follow-up. It can be a lengthy process to convert account types after it has been created. 5
