Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Beta)

Connecting Cloud Ctrl to your Oracle billing data requires granting access to the automatically generated 'Cost reports'. These reports are created every six hours, and are stored in an Oracle owned Object Storage Bucket.

Cloud Ctrl consumes the data from the reports and does not require direct access to you Oracle account.
