Oracle Services Network Configuration Order

Oracle Services when you request network configuration attempts network service provisioning and automatic configuration with the values entered by the user. If the user needs to update after provisioning, they can directly update the configurable settings in the Oracle Cloud web console after creation.

  1. Create Oracle Cloud VCN.
  2. Create Oracle Cloud DRG.
    • DRG(Dynamic Routing Gateway) is an optional virtual router that can be added to a VCN, serving a role similar to Samsung Cloud Platform Transit Gateway. This gateway provides private network traffic routing between the VCN and on-premises networks.
  3. Connect the DRG to the VCN.
  4. Enable the “Use DNS Hostnames” option of the VCN.
  5. After defining FastConnect, create a Virtual Circuit for logical allocation.
    • FastConnect is a dedicated line product for Oracle Cloud, serving a role similar to Samsung Cloud Platform Direct Connect.
  • When defining FastConnect, set it to the same bandwidth as the corresponding TGW’s bandwidth.
  1. Create a Private Subnet within VCN.
  2. Enable the “Use DNS Hostnames” option of the Subnet.
  3. Add DRG to the VCN Route Table as 0.0.0.0.
    • The default input value of DRG is 0.0.0.0.
  4. Set up user logging.
    • Create the log group first, then set up logging.

Request to connect Samsung Cloud Platform VPC and Oracle Services

To provide Oracle Service, a connection as shown below has been established between Samsung Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud.

  • A common network is configured for service/authentication integration and console connection between Samsung Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud.
  • Through the Samsung Cloud Platform Oracle product, set up user-specific service connection networks, and based on the physical network connection between Samsung Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud, connect the Samsung Cloud Platform VPC and Oracle Cloud VCN.
  • Workloads configured in Oracle Cloud (e.g. Computing, DB instance) can be utilized using the pre-configured Cross network between Samsung Cloud Platform-Oracle Cloud.
  • Samsung Cloud Platform TGW and Direct Connect routing configuration allows direct access/utilization of the DB configured in Oracle Cloud even in customer network environments connected via Direct Connect or TGW Uplink.
Connection Diagram
