This image shows two regions, each with one availability domain and three fault domains. File and object storage is provided in each region. The regions are connected using remote peering. Data Guard connects the production and disaster recovery database systems in each region to ensure synchronization and availability.

One region provides a production environment with a production virtual cloud network (VCN). The other region provides VCN for database disaster recovery that includes a single private subnet to host the backup database system. The VCNs provide the following gateways:
  • Internet Gateway (production VCN only): Provides communications between public subnets and internet hosts.
  • Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG): Provides private communications between the customer data center and the VCN and subnets using VPN and for secure communications between VCNs in different regions.
  • Service Gateway: Connects the VCN to object storage and other Oracle services for the region.
  • Remote Peering Gateway: Allow VCN resources to communicate using private IP addresses without routing the traffic over the internet or through your on-premises network.

The customer data center connects to a public subnet in the production VCN over a virtual private network (VPN) for internal access. Online users and third-party tools connect to the public subnet in the production VCN over an Imperva web application firewall (WAF).

The production VCN provides a public subnet and six private subnets arranged as functional layers:
