The Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio provide a set of features that helps developers connect to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure from within the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE.
To use the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio, you must have the following:
An Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account
A user created in that account, in a group with a policy that grants the desired permissions. This can be a user for yourself, or another person/system that needs to call the API. For an example of how to set up a new user, group, compartment, and policy, see Adding Users. For a list of typical policies you may want to use, see Common Policies.
A key pair used for signing API requests, with the public key uploaded to Oracle. For more information on generating and uploading keys, see Required Keys and OCIDs.
