Create a Domain
Use Oracle WebLogic Server for OCII to create a stack that includes an Oracle WebLogic Server 12c domain, one or more WebLogic Server compute instances, network resources, and an optional load balancer.
Launch a new stack from Marketplace by entering parameters that automatically create a domain.
You can specify a private subnet or a public subnet (either a regional or availability domain-specific) for the domain. In case of private subnet, the compute instances that are assigned to the private subnet are not accessible from the public internet. To access the virtual machines (VMs) created in the private subnet, you must configure a bastion host as described in Configure a Bastion.
Note:
Oracle WebLogic Server 14c does not support JRF, so you cannot create a JRF-enabled domain using Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1.1.0.
Oracle WebLogic Server 12c must be specified as the version for a JRF-enabled domain if you intend to use an Oracle Autonomous Database.
Before you create a domain, you must first perform the following tasks:
- Create a compartment for your domain resources, or use the same compartment in which you created the database. See Create a Compartment.
- Create an SSH key. See Create an SSH Key.
- Create an encryption key to use for secrets. See Create an Encryption Key.
- Create secrets for the passwords you want to use for the domain. You will need to select the compartment where you have the secret and the secret that contains the password. See Create Secrets for PasswordsSee Create Secrets for Passwords.
- If you use a private subnet, create a FastConnect or a VPN connection if you want to use your own bastion host to administer your Compute instances. See VPN Connect or FastConnect in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.
- If you create a JRF-Enabled domain:
- Create database in Oracle Autonomous Database or Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database (DB System). See Create a Database.
- Identify the pluggable database (PDB) name. This is required only for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database (DB System) running Oracle Database 12c or later.
Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI can create the virtual cloud network (VCN) and subnets for your new domain. If you want to use an existing VCN or existing subnets for the domain, then they must meet certain requirements. See:
- Create a Virtual Cloud Network
- Create a Private Subnet for the Oracle WebLogic Server Nodes
- Create a Subnet for the Bastion Node (if you use a private subnet for your existing network)
- Create a Subnet for the Load Balancer (if you want to create a load balancer)
