you will use an image hosted in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to provision an Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2.15 with Oracle Database 19c environment on a single Compute instance (VM) on OCI.

 

You can provision using the demo install image, and conduct demonstrations and explore new features with the resulting environment, or you can provision using the fresh install image, and tailor the resulting environment to your specific needs.
