Subscribing to an Infrastructure Region

Subscribe to an infrastructure region.

    1. Open the Console, open the Region menu, and then click Manage regions. The list of regions available to your tenancy is displayed. Your home region is labeled.

    2. Locate the region you want to subscribe to and click Subscribe.
      Note

      It could take several minutes to activate your tenancy in the new region.

      Remember, your IAM resources are global, so when the subscription becomes active, all your existing policies are enforced in the new region.

      To switch to the new region, use the Region menu in the Console. See Switching Regions for more information.

    You cannot unsubscribe from a region.

  • Use the create command and required parameters to subscribe to an infrastructure region:

    export region_key=region_ocid # https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/iam/region-subscription/create.html#cmdoption-region-key
    export tenancy_id=tenancy_ocid # https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/iam/region-subscription/create.html#cmdoption-tenancy-id
    oci iam region-subscription create --region-key region_ocid --tenancy-id tenancy_ocid

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the CreateRegionSubscription operation to subscribe to an infrastructure region.
