This page describes how to set up a project. You need a project before you can
create resources for Oracle Database@Google Cloud.
In order to create resources using Oracle Database@Google Cloud, you must have an active
marketplace order on the same billing account that you want to create
resources on and have the Oracle Database@Google Cloud API enabled. This guide walks you through
how to set up your project.
Before you begin
Confirm that you have an active marketplace order and that your
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) account is linked to the order. If
you don't have an active order,
Place an order for more information.
