# Oracle Cloud

> Learn how to integrate Vantage with Oracle Cloud.

Vantage uses a read-only IAM user and API key to read from a [Cost and Usage Reports object storage bucket](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Billing/Concepts/usagereportsoverview.htm). When connecting to Oracle, you will be required to create a Vantage-specific IAM user and upload a generated RSA public key to that user. That user must then be granted access to read objects from the [Cost and Usage Report tenancy](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Billing/Concepts/usagereportsoverview.htm#policy).

## Connect Your Oracle Cloud Account

### Prerequisites

* You must have a Vantage **Organization Owner** or **Integration Owner** role to add or remove this integration. See the [Role-Based Access Control](/rbac) documentation for details.
* The integration process uses the [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/cliconcepts.htm). Ensure you have access to the CLI before proceeding.
* [Create a free Vantage account](https://console.vantage.sh/signup), then follow the steps below to integrate Oracle Cloud Infrastructure costs.

### Create the Connection

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Navigate to the [Oracle Settings](https://console.vantage.sh/settings/oracle/) page in the Vantage console.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    A set of instructions is displayed, which will walk you through how to create an IAM user and group, add an IAM policy, and obtain your Tenancy ID and User ID. This series of commands grants Vantage permission to ingest cost and usage information from your Oracle Cloud account through an API key. All commands need to be performed using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    At the bottom of the setup screen, click **Add Connection**. Paste your **Tenancy** and Vantage **User ID**. Then, select your **Home Region**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Connect Account**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

After clicking **Connect Account**, you will see the status of your integration change to **Importing** within the Vantage console. This status indicates that Vantage is actively importing your Oracle Cloud cost data. It usually takes less than an hour to ingest Oracle costs. See the [Integration Status](/vantage_account#integration-status) documentation for details on integration statuses.

### Next Steps - Manage Workspace Access

Once the import is complete and the integration status changes to **Stable**, you can select which workspaces this integration is associated with. See the [Workspaces](/workspaces#manage-workspace-provider-integrations) documentation for information.

## Data Refresh

See the [provider data refresh documentation](/provider_data_refresh) for information on when data for each provider refreshes in Vantage.

## Oracle Cloud Reporting Dimensions

On Oracle [Cost Reports](/cost_reports), you can filter across several dimensions:

* Compartment
* Category (e.g., MYSQL - MySQL Database Service - Standard - AMD E4 - Memory)
* Tag/Not Tagged (includes Oracle tags and [virtual tags](/tagging) created in Vantage for this provider)
* Resource (resource ID)
* Region (e.g., Us Ashburn 1)
* Charge Type (e.g., Usage)
* Tenancy (tenancy OCID)
* Service (e.g., MYSQL)
