+1. From the Review + Create tab of the Create Oracle Autonomous Database flow, check the field values you have entered. Validation occurs as you enter this page, and all validations must pass for the provisioning to be started. Even if the validation passes, it's possible you entered some of the values incorrectly.
+1. Once your validations complete successfully and you have reviewed the values, select the **Create** button to start the provisioning process.
+1. The provisioning process starts. You return to the Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure blade. You can see the status of your provisioning processes. Assuming your process succeeds, select that successful entry in the list.
+1. This is the basic information for your Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless instance. You can perform functions shared with Microsoft Azure. For most administrative functions for the database, select the Go to OCI link under the OCI Database URL field.
+1. For the complete documentation on using an Oracle Autonomous Database, see [Using Oracle Autonomous Database Serverless](https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/autonomous-database/serverless/adbsb/autonomous-intro-adb.html#GUID-8EAA5AE6-397D-4E9A-9BD0-3E37A0345E24).

+# Manage resources for Oracle Database@Azure
+
+After you provision an OracleDB@Azure resource, for example an Oracle Exadata Infrastructure or an Oracle Exadata VM Cluster, you can use the Microsoft Azure blade for a limited set of management functions. That limited set of management functions is described in this document.
+
+## Common management functions from the Microsoft Azure Blade
+
+The following management functions are available for all resources from the Microsoft Azure blade for that resource.
+
+* **Access the resource blade**.
+   1. From the Microsoft Azure portal, select OracleDB@Azure application.
+   1. From the left menu, select the resource type. For example, select **Oracle Exadata Database@Azure** or **Oracle Autonomous Database@Azure**.
+   1. If the blade lists and manages several resources, select the resource type at the top of the blade. For example, the **Oracle Exadata Database@Azure** blade accesses both Oracle Exadata Infrastructure and Oracle Exadata VM Cluster resources.
+* **List and see the status for all the resources of the same type.**
+   1. Follow the steps to access the resource blade.
+   1. Resources are shown in the list as **Succeeded**, **Failed**, or **Provisioning**.
+   1. Access the specifics of that resource by selecting the link in the **Name** field in the table.
+* **Provision a new resource of the same type.**
+   1. Follow the steps to access the resource blade.
+   1. Select the **+ Create** icon at the top of the blade.
