What is a prerequisite for provisioning an Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse cloud service instance?

Provisioning an Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse cloud service instance requires data center availability as a critical prerequisite. This is because the service is hosted in the cloud, meaning it relies on the infrastructure within specific data centers to provide the necessary resources for operation, including compute power, storage, and networking capabilities.

Before creating an instance, Oracle must ensure that the appropriate data centers are operational and have the capacity to handle new workloads. This involves assessing both the geographic location and the technical resources available at these data centers. Without available data center resources, it would not be possible to provision the service instance effectively, regardless of customer demand, existing databases, or software types.
