Creating a Virtual Cloud Network

This section shows you how to create a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using the Start VCN Wizard.

Prerequisite

  • The user interface for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console is constantly evolving. For the most up-to-date descriptions and navigation, refer to Get to Know the Console.
  • You should have a fundamental understanding of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It is highly recommended that you review the extensive collateral information, including training, at this site: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Before you can launch an instance, you must have a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. For more information refer to this topic: Creating the VCN and Subnets to Use with Oracle Functions, if they don't exist already.

Oracle JD Edwards recommends using the Start VCN Wizard to create a complete set of networking resources using the concept of regional networking, which includes route tables with private and public subnets across all Availability Domains (ADs) in your region.

On Virtual Cloud Networks in <your_compartment>, click the Start VCN Wizard button.

On Create a VCN with Internet Connectivity - Configuration, complete these fields in the Basic Information and Configure VCN and Subnets sections:

Basic Information

  • VCN NAME
  • COMPARTMENT

Configure VCN and Subnets

  • VCN CIDR BLOCK (see below Note)
  • PUBLIC SUBNET CIDR BLOCK (see below Note)
  • PRIVATE SUBNET CIDR BLOCK (see below Note)
Note: For CIDR block values, you can either use the example values or obtain the values from your network engineer.

DNS RESOLUTION

In this section, ensure the following check box is selected:

  • USE DNS HOSTNAMES IN THIS VCN

To create a VCN, see Creating a VCN in the Orcale Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
