OCI Cloud Foundations & Associate Track

The OCI Cloud Foundations & Associate Track is a comprehensive training program designed to equip IT professionals, cloud engineers, architects, administrators, and technology leaders with the skills required to design, deploy, secure, manage, and optimize solutions on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

This track combines the complete learning paths of OCI Foundations (2025) and OCI Architect Associate (2025), providing participants with both fundamental cloud concepts and hands-on architectural expertise. Learners will gain practical experience in OCI Identity and Access Management, Networking, Compute, Storage, Security, Governance, Monitoring, Cost Management, High Availability, Disaster Recovery, and Cloud Architecture best practices.

By the end of this training track, participants will be able to:

• Understand cloud computing concepts and OCI architecture 
• Navigate and manage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure environments 
• Implement Identity and Access Management (IAM) 
• Design secure cloud networking architectures 
• Deploy and manage virtual machines and compute services 
• Implement OCI storage solutions 
• Configure load balancing and cloud connectivity 
• Manage OCI security services and governance controls 
• Design scalable, resilient, and highly available cloud architectures 
• Implement hybrid and multi-cloud solutions 
• Configure disaster recovery and replication strategies 
• Monitor, optimize, and troubleshoot OCI environments 
• Prepare for OCI Foundations and OCI Architect Associate certifications

Participants should have:

• Basic networking knowledge 
• General IT infrastructure understanding 
• Familiarity with virtualization concepts 
• Basic Linux administration knowledge (recommended) 

No prior OCI experience is required.
