8 Public Cloud Platforms

Oracle distributes machine templates, each containing a virtual disk image and default configuration for the supported profile of each public platform. Public Cloud platform support is dependent on your Oracle product version. Refer to your Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC) Release Notes to confirm the public clouds supported and important detail on that software version's support.

This section addresses requirements associated with running the SBC as public cloud instances. It also provides basic instructions on deploying machine instances.

Public Cloud providers maintain extensive product documentation. You must use those vendors' documentation for specifications, requirements, caveats, known issues, deployment details, and operation detail prior to deploying the SBC.

Once you have installed on a public cloud, the SBC provides the same or equivalent functions that allow access to the vSBC and configuration of the vSBC. Access functions include SSH, Console and external management applications. Configuration functions include product setup, entitlements setup and ACLI engine.

Note:

After installing a vSBC, vESBC, vSR or vSLB, you must setup entitlements. If you later change machine shape or size, your new deployment may not accommodate the original entitlements, such as capacity entitlements. When you complete machine size or shape changes, run the show platform limits command and note the supported capacity limits.

After changing virtual machine size or shape, change any entitlements that conflict with you new platform's support and reboot your virtual machine.
