Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation

Start Autonomous AI Database

Describes the steps to start an Autonomous AI Database instance.

Perform the following prerequisite steps as necessary:

  • Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console by clicking the navigation icon next to Cloud.

  • From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure left navigation menu click Oracle Database and then click Autonomous AI Database.

  • On the Autonomous AI Databases page select an Autonomous AI Database from the links under the Display name column.

To start Autonomous AI Database:

  1. On the More actions drop-down list menu on the Autonomous AI Database instance, select Start.

    Start is only shown for a stopped instance.

  2. Click Start to confirm.

Notes for starting a stopped Autonomous AI Database instance:

  • When an Autonomous AI Database instance is started, Autonomous AI Database CPU billing is initiated, billed by the second with a minimum usage period of one minute.

  • When an Autonomous AI Database remains stopped for over 7 days it may take a few minutes or longer to start up, depending on the size of the database. To avoid this extra startup time, Oracle recommends starting your Autonomous AI Database instance once every 7 days.
