# Onboard Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Use the cloud onboarding wizard to integrate an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) environment with Cortex Cloud. The onboarding wizard requires minimal configuration to set up the integration. OCI onboarding operates at the tenancy (organization) scope and uses Cortex Cloud-managed scanning. Optionally, configure the advanced settings to enable additional security capabilities such as agentless disk scanning and registry scanning, or to refine the compartment scope.

Cortex Cloud generates a Terraform authentication template based on the configuration settings. The authentication template creates an IAM policy, an IAM group, and supporting identity resources in your OCI tenancy that grant Cortex Cloud the required permissions. Execute the authentication template in OCI to complete the onboarding process. Executing the authentication template notifies Cortex Cloud of the execution details. Cortex Cloud then creates a new cloud instance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-posture-management/onboard-and-configure/deployment-steps-and-checklist/cloud-service-provider-csp-onboarding/oracle-cloud-infrastructure-cloud-onboarding/onboard-oracle-cloud-infrastructure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
