You might have seen dynamic groups mentioned when browsing through OCI console or when you’ve read the documentation. One of the most important things when creating services is handling access to specific services so that your access keys are not…
Some time ago Oracle Cloud Infrastructure introduced features around autoscaling and instance pools. This in short means you have an instance pool which uses image from the instance configuration you have defined. Instance pool has minimum number of instances you…
My idea on writing this guide was to provide overview what components you need when you create a database in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Even thought there are several components once you do it few times you get an understanding what…
At this point I have created everything else apart from the database. For the database we have few options starting if we would like to have Baremetal, Virtual Machine or Exadata. In this demo I’m going to create VM single-node…
Before creating database I will create jump host on public subnet so we will be able to access our database once it’s created. If I would have connection setup to our corporate network I could access the private subnet directly…
Now we have everything else setup on the network side apart from subnets. Subnets are continuous IP address blocks which don’t overlap with any other subnet IP address block in your VCN. Things to remember: As time of writing this…
Before we can create the subnets we still need to create security lists. They will control what ingress and egress traffic will be allowed within subnets. I will create two security lists for this project, one for private subnet and…
Now when we have created IGW and NAT GW on previous post it’s time to create route tables which will send traffic outside from your VCN to the destination you require. It can be for example to your on-premise network…
Previous part three on creating VCN can be found from here. Now let’s start with basics. What are IGW and NAT GW. Internet Gateway (IGW) in OCI is the connection point which routes your VCN traffic from and to public…
Now after we have compartment where to place resources we are ready to create Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). Since previous post was about compartments and how they logically group your resources one way to think is that a VCN groups…
