Overview of Oracle Cloud Marketplace OCI

Oracle Cloud Marketplace is an online store that offers solutions specifically for customers of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
In the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Marketplace catalog, you can find listings for two types of solutions from Oracle and trusted partners: images and stacks.
These listing types include different categories of applications. Also, some listings are free and others belong to certain pricing models.
Images are templates of virtual hard drives that determine the operating system and software to run on an instance.
You can deploy image listings on an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute instance.
