Steps to Create a VCN in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

 


  1. Log into Oracle Cloud Console.
  2. Go to Networking → Virtual Cloud Networks.
  3. Click on Create VCN and provide a name for the VCN.
  4. Choose the CIDR block for the VCN (e.g., 10.0.0.0/16).
  5. Choose whether to create subnets automatically or manually.
    • You can create multiple subnets, each with different IP ranges and attributes (public/private).
  6. Optionally, create an Internet GatewayNAT Gateway, and Route Tables for routing traffic to and from the internet.
  7. Configure Security Lists or NSGs to manage access to the instances within the VCN.
  8. Click Create to finalize the VCN.

Use Cases for VCN:

  • Secure Multi-tier Architecture: You can separate different application layers (web servers, application servers, and databases) into different subnets and control traffic flow between them using route tables and security lists.
  • Hybrid Cloud: VCN allows you to securely extend your on-premises network to the cloud via VPN or DRG, enabling hybrid cloud environments.
  • Private Connectivity: For sensitive applications that require private communication, a VCN can ensure that traffic remains isolated from the public internet.
  • Disaster Recovery: You can use VCN in conjunction with other OCI services to set up disaster recovery scenarios with secure, private communication between regions.

Example VCN Structure:

  • VCN10.0.0.0/16
    • Public Subnet 110.0.0.0/24 (For web servers)
    • Private Subnet 110.0.1.0/24 (For database servers)
    • Private Subnet 210.0.2.0/24 (For internal services)
    • Internet Gateway: Connects the VCN to the internet.
    • NAT Gateway: Provides internet access to private subnet instances without exposing them to the public.

  1. Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you

  2. Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a
    tough time locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail.

    I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might
    be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog
    and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism
    or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either created
    myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my
    agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.
