      • Network connectivity
        • Shared endpoint, to share an endpoint with the assigned deployment. You must allow connectivity from the deployment's ingress IP.
        • Dedicated endpoint, for network traffic through a dedicated endpoint in the assigned subnet in your VCN. You must allow connectivity from this connection's ingress IPs.
          Note
          
          

          • If a dedicated connection remains unassigned for seven days, then the service converts it to a shared connection.
