Usually, DBAs create Autonomous Databases and then provide developers with the connection information and credential zip necessary to connect to a database. These DBAs have Oracle Cloud user accounts that grant them authorization to create and manage Autonomous Databases on dedicated infrastructure.

If you are such a DBA in addition to being a developer, you can use one of the following Oracle Cloud Infrastructure interfaces to create an Autonomous Database:

• The Oracle Cloud console. For instructions, see Create a Dedicated Autonomous Database.

• The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure REST API. For information, see the CreateAutonomousDatabase endpoint in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Documentation.

• The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI. For information, see the oci db autonomous-database create command in OCI CLI Command Reference .

• An Oracle Cloud Infrastructure SDK or Plug-in. For information, see Software Development Kits and DevOps Tools and Plug-ins in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Documentation.
