Introduction to Oracle Cloud Essentials

An overview course

This introduction explains cloud computing and the main Oracle cloud offerings: an infrastructure platform and a set of cloud applications. It is labelled a beginner course and works as a map of the territory rather than a technical deep dive.

What you see

Quick product tours show the infrastructure and software-as-a-service platforms in action, so you get a visual sense of what each offering looks like. The skills list includes cloud architecture, cloud security, cloud platforms and enterprise resource planning, along with supply chain management, which shows how Oracle's applications sit in business operations.

Who it is for

Business and technical newcomers who want an overview of Oracle's cloud portfolio before picking a specialism will find it useful. It does not go deep on database administration.
