3 Requesting a Private Endpoint

This chapter describes the steps required to request a Private Endpoint for Oracle Retail Data Store (RDS) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It outlines the prerequisites, guided console workflows, and required information you must provide when submitting your request.

You will begin by identifying your tenancy and creating a dedicated subcompartment and VCN. You’ll then create a private subnet that RDS will use for private endpoint access. In single availability domain (AD) regions, you’ll also configure a matching standby environment.

You are responsible for creating the required IAM policies that grant the ORACLE_INDUSTRY_SAAS service permission to manage networking resources in your compartment. Once all components are in place, you will collect and submit a list of OCIDs to Oracle Support to complete the private endpoint provisioning process.

Optional guidance is provided for customers who want to receive credential rotation notifications through a private HTTP or HTTPS endpoint. The chapter concludes with a reference to disaster recovery instructions for single AD regions.
