OCI Networking Architecture - Building Blocks

OCI Networking Architecture key builiding blcoks

  • Region / Compartment
  • VCNs / Subnets / CIDRs
  • Connectivity / Gateways
  • Load Balancer / Bastion
  • DNS / WAF
  • Compute / Database / Storage / VCN Flowlogs



Below are the high level steps to create OCI Networking Architecture 

  • First Choose the region
  • Create compartment 
  • Add Availability Domain Specific Subnets in a VCN for say Web and App layer


  • Then create the instances (Backend sets)
    • with port 80 for Health Checks
    • with port 443 for listner
  • Create the Load balancer


  • Create another VCN for DB Layer
  • Create Database in regional subnet
  • Access to Internet
    • Internet gateway for public subnet
    • NAT gateway for private subnet
    • Peer the VCNs using Local Peering Gateway
  • Enable DNS and apply WAF policy
  • Enable VCN Flowlogs
  • Service Gateway to connect to ADW
  • DRG for Remote connection  using and Fastconnect
