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:

Connections list. Ensure that you assign the connection to a deployment to use it as a source
or target in a replication.
