(IDCS) into the native Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access
Management (OCI IAM) service. All IDCS features and functionality
will continue to exist as part of OCI IAM. As a native OCI service,
customers will see improved performance and scale, immediate
availability in more global regions, and a new cross-region disaster
recovery feature. Best of all, the migration to OCI IAM will be seamless
and automatic without any loss of existing capabilities or features,
including managing access across numerous third-party applications
What is OCI IAM?
OCI IAM is the access control plane for Oracle Cloud. It’s the OCI-native
authentication service and policy engine for OCI and Oracle Cloud Applications
that has been used to manage access to OCI resources such as networking,
compute, storage, and analytics
What is changing for IDCS and OCI IAM?
Oracle will soon be announcing new service capabilities for the OCI IAM service
offering broader IAM features and capabilities. As part of this new service
release, all features and functionality of the existing Oracle Identity Cloud Service
(IDCS) will be merged into OCI IAM as identity domains. IDCS will no longer exist
as a separate service, but all its features and capabilities will continue to function
as part of the new OCI IAM service.
