So how do OIC trials actually work?Just log into cloud.oracle.com
You provide your credit card details as proof of identity.
NO money is deducted from your account.
See it as a way to validate that we don't have some dodgy individual leveraging the
trial to mine Bitcoins etc. Now who would ever think of something like that?
Your credit card data can also be used, IF you decide to convert to paid, at the end of the trial.
So what does $300 in credits get me in respect of OIC?
From a trial perspective - 1 ocpu for 30 days= $75. Ergo, you have 4 ocpus for 1 month
This is sufficient to set up an OIC env with 1 ocpu for DB CS, 2 ocpus for OIC (Integration and Process), 1 ocpu for Integration Insight. Both Insight and Integration/Process can leverage the same DB CS instance.
So I enter my details -
My cell number for a verification code -
Now I can enter my credit card details - remember the trial is FREE,
this is purely for verification purposes.
I do the necessary and click Complete -
I check my Inbox -
I click to Get Started
I set up a new password -
I now see the Guided Journey page -
The starter page for trials. Here you can click on an icon, answer a couple of questions -
and the desired trial will be provisioned for you. Currently there is no icon for Integration, but that is on the way.
So, for now, we have to execute a couple of steps ourselves -
0. Create Storage
You could do the above, or just create the storage when creating the DB CS instance
1. Create DB CS Instance
You can follow the progress here -
Take a coffee break -
2. Provision OIC
Now that we have the DB CS instance, we can provision OIC -
Check out the flavours available -
Integration and Process essentially gives me ICS and PCS style functionality,
along with VB CS - Visual Builder Cloud Service.
This allows us to connect, extend and create applications.
More about Integration Analytics in the next post.

I click on Integration Cloud -
