Create Oracle Cloud resources
Learn to create a compartment, VCN, subnet, users, and user groups before you get started with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure GoldenGate.
Create a compartment
Compartments let you organize and control access to your cloud resources. It's a logical container that you can use to group related cloud resources together and let specific user groups access.
When you sign up for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle creates your tenancy, which is the root compartment that holds all your cloud resources. You then create additional compartments within your tenancy and the corresponding policies to control access to the resources in each compartment.
To create a compartment:Create a Virtual Cloud Network and subnet
A virtual cloud network (VCN) is a network that you set up in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data centers in a particular region. A subnet is a subdivision of a VCN. OCI GoldenGate requires a VCN and subnet to control traffic to its resources.
- Open the Oracle Cloud console navigation menu, click Networking, and then select Virtual Cloud Networks.
- On the Virtual Cloud Networking in <compartment-name> page, click Start VCN Wizard.
- In the Start VCN Wizard dialog, select VCN with Internet Connectivity, and then click Start VCN Wizard.
- On the Configuration page, under Basic Information, enter a name for VCN Name.
- For Compartment, select the compartment where you want to create this VCN.
- Click Next.
- On the Review and Create page, verify the configuration details, and then click Create.
Click View VCN Details to verify that both a Public and Private subnet were created.
Create users
Create users to add to groups that can access to your OCI GoldenGate resources.
Before you create users, understand that:
- User names must be unique across all users within your tenancy
- User names are unchangeable
- Users have no permissions until they're placed in a group
- Open the Oracle Cloud console navigation menu, click Identity & Security, and then under Identity, click Users.
- On the Users page, click Create User.
- On the Create User page, complete the fields as follows:
- Click Create.
Create groups
A group is a collection of users who require the same type of access to a set of resources or compartments.
- The group name must be unique within the tenancy.
- The group name cannot be changed once created.
- A group has no permissions unles you write at least one permission that gives the group permission to a tenancy or compartment.
- Open the Oracle Cloud console navigation menu, click Identity & Security, and then under Identity, click Groups.
- Click Create Group.
- In the Create Group panel:
- Click Create Group.
- In the Groups list, select the group. You're brought to the group Details page.
- Click Add User to Group.
- Select a user from the dropdown, and then click Add User.
