Deployment Checklist

Before starting the deployment, ensure that you have the following information handy.

Contact the OCI account administrator to assign the required privileges in IAM to create and/or use the following OCI resources:

  • Identify and deploy to the correct OCI Region and compartment. This is typically a default component of the OCI Account.
  • Identify and deploy to the correct OCI Availability Domain
  • Identify and deploy to the correct OCI Fault Domain
  • Prepare private and public key. For more information, see Generating an SSH Key Pair on Windows Using the PuTTYgen Program.
  • Create Networks and Subnet - The OCI interface types include those hidden from the internet and those that are not. Oracle recommends creating regional subnets, which means the subnet can span across availability domains within the region. Refer to OCI's Regional Subnets documentation for further information about using these objects
  • Identify and select or create the appropriate Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). Required VCN configuration includes:
    • Security list— these access control lists provide traffic control at the packet level.
    • Subnet configuration— Select a subnet as required
    • Internet Gateway—create a default internet gateway for the compartment and give it an appropriate name.
    • Route table (Use Default)—create a route table to route appropriate Subnet(s) through the Internet Gateway
