This image shows an Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) region and 1 virtual cloud network (VCN) that includes an Oracle Cloud VMware Solution software defined data center
(SDDC).
The region provides the following services:
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Audit
- Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Block Volumes service with multiple block volume instances
- Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Domain Name Service (DNS)
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File
Storage
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity
and Access Management
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Monitoring
- Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Object Storage
The VCN provides the following gateways:
- Dynamic routing gateway (DRG): Provides private connectivity between on-premises networks and VCNs by using Site-to-Site
VPN or FastConnect.
- Internet gateway: Provides communications between public subnets and internet hosts. This architecture also includes Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Web
Application Firewall for traffic that comes in through the internet gateway.
- Network address translation (NAT) gateway: Enables private resources in a VCN to access hosts on the internet, without exposing
those resources to incoming internet connections.
- Service gateway: VCNs communicate with services such as object storage over the Oracle network fabric without traversing the
internet.
The VCN provides 3 subnets, each with its own security list and route table.
- A public subnet includes a firewall, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Bastion, and primary and standby load balancers.
- A private subnet includes a database instance.
- A provisioning subnet provides multiple bare metal ESXi instances.
The Oracle Cloud VMware Solution software defined data center (SDDC) spans the provisioning subnet and includes:
- vCenter server, NSX-T, and HCX instances
- An NSX overlay provided by an NSX Edge server with multiple virtual machine and database instances
- A VMware Hypervisor to interface with the provisioning subnet
- A management VMFS datastore instance
- Multiple workload VMFS datastore instances
