If you have an Oracle Cloud user account then you can use one of the following interfaces to create an Oracle Autonomous JSON Database.

• The Oracle Cloud console. See Provision an Autonomous JSON Database Instance.

• The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure REST API. For information, see the CreateAutonomousDatabase endpoint in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Documentation. The body of the REST request must contain a single instance of CreateAutonomousDatabaseBase, with dbWorkload set to AJD.

• The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure CLI. For information, see the oci db autonomous-database create command in OCI CLI Command Reference . Set parameter --db-workload [text] to AJD. That is, use command oci db autonomous-database create --db-workload AJD.

• An Oracle Cloud Infrastructure SDK or Plug-in. For information, see Software Development Kits and DevOps Tools and Plug-ins in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Documentation.

You can promote an existing Always Free Autonomous JSON Database to a paid Autonomous JSON Database. For more information see Always Free Autonomous Database in Using Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless.
