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.
