2.2.1 Sign-up Overview

After the initial Oracle Cloud Account setup, use the MySQL HeatWave on AWS Administration page on the OCI console for these items:

• Request an OCI account upgrade from the Oracle Cloud Free Tier to a paid account.

• Subscribe to an OCI region, see: Region Availability.

• Enable the MySQL HeatWave on AWS service in one or more AWS regions.

The MySQL HeatWave on AWS Administration page shows the current status of the sign-up process, and the status of each request.

Tip:

An Oracle Cloud Account has a single region limit by default. For the Home Region, choose the OCI region that maps to the preferred AWS region to avoid the need for a region increase. This would require a support request, and can take some time. See: Region Availability and Subscribed Region Limits.

Attention:

Do not change the Oracle Cloud Account name after enabling the MySQL HeatWave on AWS service, as it can cause a loss of access to the MySQL HeatWave on AWS service, and require assistance from Customer Support.

Note:

After upgrading to a paid account, any credits from the Oracle Cloud Free Tier free trial remain eligible for use with MySQL HeatWave on AWS for the duration of the trial period.

The OCI user account created during the sign-up process is added to the Administrators group in the OCI Default identity domain. See: The Default Identity Domain.

To sign up for MySQL HeatWave on AWS, the registered user must either be a member of the Administrators group in the OCI Default identity domain or have the following permissions:

• manage heatwave-registration

• manage policies

• manage domains

• manage groups

• read limits
