Migrate FastConnect and VPN Connections to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to create a connection between your private, on-premises network and a network in Oracle Cloud.

Note:

This topic is not applicable, if you are migrating Oracle Java Cloud Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI. As the instance can be created in the existing VCN, where FastConnect or IPSec is already configured.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) uses a public network to create a secure connection between two private networks. Oracle supports two connectivity solutions for a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect - Create dedicated, high-speed, virtual circuits for production systems that communicate with your on-premises network using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This service is equivalent to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect Classic.
IPSec VPN - Create secure connections with your on-premises network using the IPSec protocol. This solution replaces VPN as a Service (VPNaaS) and Corente in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic.

When migrating from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, update the existing BGP or VPN configuration in your on-premises network to use either Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect or IPSec VPN. Alternatively, if you require connectivity to instances in both Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic during the migration process, create a separate BGP or VPN configuration in your on-premises network.

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, creating a connection to your on-premises network includes these tasks:

Create a Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) in the VCN.
Create a route table in the VCN that directs external traffic to the DRG.
Assign the route table to a subnet in the VCN.
