Different Ways to Access Oracle Cloud Infrastructure


This is a quick jot down of different ways you can access the ever-improving Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Most types of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources have a unique, Oracle-assigned identifier called an Oracle Cloud ID (OCID).

You can access Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using the Console (a browser-based interface) or the REST API. To access the Console, you must use a supported browser. You can go to the sign-in page. You will be prompted to enter your cloud tenant, your user name, and your password. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure APIs are typical REST APIs that use HTTPS requests and responses.

All Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API requests must be signed for authentication purposes. All Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API requests must support HTTPS and SSL protocol TLS 1.2. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a number of Software Development Kits (SDKs) and a Command Line Interface (CLI) to facilitate development of custom solutions.

Software Development Kits (SDKs) Build and deploy apps that integrate with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. Each SDK provides the tools you need to develop an app, including code samples and documentation to create, test, and troubleshoot. In addition, if you want to contribute to the development of the SDKs, they are all open source and available on GitHub.

  • SDK for Java
  • SDK for Python
  • SDK for TypeScript and JavaScript
  • SDK for .NET
  • SDK for Go
  • SDK for Ruby

Command Line Interface (CLI) The CLI provides the same core capabilities as the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console and provides additional commands that can extend the Console's functionality. The CLI is convenient for developers or anyone who prefers the command line to a GUI.
