# OCI connection

> Learn how to configure an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Connection for Infisical.

> [!NOTE]
>
> OCI App Connection is a paid feature.
>
> If you're using Infisical Cloud, then it is available under the **Enterprise Tier**. If you're self-hosting Infisical,
> then you should contact [sales@infisical.com](mailto:sales@infisical.com) to purchase an enterprise license to use it.

Infisical supports the use of [API Signing Key Authentication](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm) to connect with OCI.
