In the last chapter of this tutorial, I demonstrated how Storage Conainers in the Oracle Cloud can be managed by using the REST-API.
As the Oracle Storage Cloud is also compatible to the according OpenStack API's, standard tools with OpenStack-support can also be used for management. Here, I will demonstrate this with the CloudBerry Explorer.
First, a new account needs to be created. As the CloudBerry Explorer already knows the Oracle Cloud, just go to the file menu and click on 'New Oracle Cloud Account'
Enter the access information in the dialog. The user name is constructed the same way as done for the REST-API, which is Storage-[Identity Domain]-[Username].
After successfull connection, the CloudBerry Explorer lists all existing Storage Containers. So the dbBackupContainer, which has been created in the last chapter, is listed here. A new container, which is needed for the SOACS, can be created by clicking the 'New Container' icon.
Give it a name, for example SOACScontainer. The Container type can remain on 'Standard'.
Now both, the just created SOACScontainer and the dbBackupContainer from last chapter should be listed here. Both containers needed for the next chapters are created and the cloud services can be set up.
--> Next Step: create a database instace with the DB Cloud Service
