A VCN is a software-defined virtual private network that is configured within Oracle Infrastructure and closely resembles a traditional network, with firewall rules, gateways, etc. It is used to deploy your Oracle environment. In this example, we will create a VCN that will then be used to deploy our database in OCI.
The steps to follow to create an Oracle Infrastructure VCN are as follows:
First, we need to connect to the OCI console with our username and password. Once logged in:
1- Click on the Navigation Menu at the top left of the screen. From the drop-down menu, click on Networking -> Virtual Cloud Networks.
From the drop-down menu, select your Compartment and launch the VCN Wizard by clicking on the "Start VCN Wizard" option.
We select the CREATE VCN with internet connectivity option and click on the "Start VCN wizard" button.
Fill in the following information:
- VCN name
- COMPARTMENT
- BCN CIDR BLOCK: 10.0.0.0/16
- PUBLIC SUBNET CIDR BLOCK 10.0.0.0/24
We accept and click the create button.
The services will begin to be created.
If everything goes well, a window similar to the following will appear.
Click on the "VIEW vcn" button.
In the VCN resources, you will see your resource created and ready to be used.
It is important that the status is "AVAILABLE."
