[VBCS] Creating Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS) instance?

 

Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS) is a cloud-based development platform that allows developers to rapidly create and deploy web and mobile applications with a low-code approach. 

Use Cases:

  • Custom Application Development - For organizations looking to develop tailored applications quickly without extensive coding.
  • Extension of Oracle SaaS Applications - Enhancing and extending the capabilities of existing Oracle SaaS applications like Oracle Fusion Applications.
  • Rapid Prototyping - Quickly building and iterating on application prototypes to validate ideas and gather feedback.

 

To start working with VBCS, we need an instance. There are two ways we can provision VBCS instance, by:

  • Enabling VBCS for an OIC instance
  • Creating standalone VBCS instance

 

Enabling VBCS for an OIC instance

  • Login to the OCI console and navigate to already created OIC instance. Follow this link to know how to create OIC instance. 
  • Below is the instance that we have already created
  • In the resources section, you can see that there is no Associated services. 
  • Click on Enable link for Visual Builder to provision the VBCS instance. 

  •  Click on Enable button
  • OIC instance will go in UPDATING state to provision the VBCS instance and then it will associate the VBCS instance with the current OIC instance

  • Once instance is updated then we will be able to see that one service will be associated
  • Go to Associated services and click on Service Name to open the VBCS instance details
  • Go to Associated services to know the OIC instance to which this VBCS instance is associated


  • Click on the Service Console URL to open the OIC Instance Console. Now, in the navigation menu you will see the Visual Builder link
  • After clicking on Visual Builder link, VBCS homepage will appear



Creating standalone VBCS instance

  • Login to the OCI console and navigate to Developer Services -> Visual Builder
  • Choose the compartment in which you want to create the instance and click the Create Instance button
