# Cardano Testnets

## Cardano Testnets

- [Welcome to Cardano Testnets](https://testnet-docs.gitbook.io/cardano-testnets/welcome-to-cardano-testnets.md): Here we'll look at setting up Cardano Stake Pools (Preview and Preprod).
- [Oracle Cloud](https://testnet-docs.gitbook.io/cardano-testnets/oracle-cloud.md): Here we'll focus on Oracle Cloud (OCI) as a platform to set up our pools.
- [Provisioning your instances](https://testnet-docs.gitbook.io/cardano-testnets/oracle-cloud/provisioning-your-instances.md): Let's create our first VMs on OCI to run Testnet nodes.
- [Connecting to your instance](https://testnet-docs.gitbook.io/cardano-testnets/oracle-cloud/connecting-to-your-instance.md): Here we'll connect to the new instance for the first time
- [Steps to harden instance](https://testnet-docs.gitbook.io/cardano-testnets/oracle-cloud/steps-to-harden-instance.md): After our first connection we'll harden our instance to make it more secure.
- [First steps](https://testnet-docs.gitbook.io/cardano-testnets/oracle-cloud/steps-to-harden-instance/first-steps.md)
