Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Cloud Shell

One of the most awaited feature every Oracle Cloud Admin, developers were waiting for is now released by Oracle - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure "Cloud Shell". Cloud Shell is a web based browser terminal accessible from the Oracle Cloud console.

Cloud Shell provides Linux shell with a pre-authenticated OCI CLI. This feature is available for all Oracle Cloud users and accessible from console. 

Cloud Shell provides:

* An ephemeral machine to use as a host for a Linux shell, pre-configured with the latest version of the OCI Command Line Interface (CLI) and a number of useful tools

* 5GB of storage for your home directory

* A persistent frame of the Console which stays active as you navigate to different pages of the console

Following are the Tools Included With Cloud Shell:

Cloud Shell is a small Linux virtual machine. In addition to the OCI CLI, the Cloud Shell VM comes with current versions of several useful tools and utilities pre-installed, including:

> Git

> Java

> Python (2 and 3)

> SQL Plus

> kubectl

> helm

> maven

> gradle

> terraform

TO start the OCI Cloud Shell, you just have to click on Cloud Shell icon just left to the console notification bell icon at the right top.

 Once you click on the Cloud Shell, a small Linux virtual machine gets created that is equipped with latest oci cli and other various tools listed above and finally you are ready to interact with Oracle Cloud resources from the web-based terminal.

To allow a group of users to use the Cloud Shell, you need to create an IAM policy for this so that all users in that group can use it.
