Onboarding OCI Tenancy under the Public offer for the creation of Oracle ADB database

Hi @Sachin Bhatia

For Oracle Database@Azure (Oracle Autonomous Database on Azure), the key point is that the Public (Pay-As-You-Go) offer does not support linking or onboarding an existing OCI tenancy.

When using the Public offer, onboarding creates a new OCI account/tenancy as part of the setup process. If your requirement is to use an existing OCI tenancy, the supported approach is to use a Private Offer obtained through Oracle.

Regarding the Oracle version list not appearing during Autonomous Database creation and the Oracle Database@Azure option no longer appearing in Marketplace, please validate the following:

• Confirm you are signed into the correct Azure tenant and subscription.
• Verify the selected Azure region supports Oracle Database@Azure services.
• Ensure the OCI tenancy is subscribed to the paired OCI region for that Azure region.
• Confirm the required Azure resource providers are registered and onboarding completed successfully.
• If using a subscription model that requires onboarding enablement, verify the subscription has been enabled for Oracle Database@Azure deployment.
• Confirm Marketplace purchasing is enabled for the subscription and that the offer is available for the selected region and subscription type.

If you are using Pay-As-You-Go, onboarding should proceed directly through Marketplace without separate subscription enablement.

If the issue persists after validating the above, we recommend contacting Oracle support to validate onboarding status, offer availability, and Oracle tenancy configuration.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Sachin !

Thank you for posting on MS Learn Q&A.

For Oracle Database@Azure or Oracle AI Database@Azure, the key point is that the public pay as you go offer cannot be used to link or onboard an existing OCI tenancy. For the public or PAYG offer, onboarding must create a new OCI account and linking an existing OCI tenancy is available only through a private offer.

https://docs.oracle.com/iaas/Content/database-at-azure/azutr-troubleshoot.html

If you want to use an existing OCI tenancy, you need a private offer from Oracle Sales, then accept or purchase it in Azure Marketplace and link the OCI tenancy during onboarding. Oracle Database@Azure setup uses both Azure portal and OCI console steps.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/oracle/oracle-db/onboard-oracle-database

If you are using the public pay as you go offer, just proceed by creating a new OCI account/tenancy as part of onboarding and do not try to link an existing OCI tenancy.

For the Oracle version list not appearing you need to check if the Azure region supports the specific Oracle Autonomous Database service you are trying to create becauset the OCI tenancy must also be subscribed to the paired OCI region for the selected Azure region.

https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/database-at-azure/oaa_regions.htm

Oracle AI Database@Azure must already be purchased and you need an OCI account before creating the database.

You can also validate available database versions with Azure CLI:

az oracle-database autonomous-database version list --location <azure-region>
