+## Creating an Autonomous Database Serverless instance
+
+To create an Autonomous Database Serverless instance, you need only an ODB network. No Exadata infrastructure or VM cluster creation is needed.
+
+###### To create an Autonomous Database Serverless instance
+
+  1. Create an ODB network (see Step 1: Create an ODB network in Oracle Database@AWS).
+
+  2. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Oracle Database@AWS console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/odb/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/odb/).
+
+  3. From the left pane, choose **Autonomous Databases**.
+
+  4. Choose **Create Autonomous Database**.
+
+  5. Select a workload type: Transaction Processing, Data Warehouse, JSON, or APEX.
+
+  6. Configure compute resources, including the ECPU count and auto-scaling options.
+
+  7. Configure storage allocation.
+
+  8. Set the administrator credentials.
+
+  9. Configure network access. Choose mTLS (requires wallet download for connections) or TLS for network connectivity.
+
+  10. Choose **Create Autonomous Database**.
+
+
+
+
+After the database is provisioned, you can connect using the connection strings from the Oracle Database@AWS console. If you chose mTLS, download the wallet from the console to use with your database client.
