ODB Peering Connection

An ODB peering connection allows to set up a peering connection between ODB network and a VPC which enables applications to connect to your Exadata Database.

There are prerequisites that must be completed before creating an ODB peering connection. Complete the following steps:

Create an ODB Network
Create a VPC

Note

Ensure that the ODB network and VPC are not already peered with the each other.
Creating peering VPC and ODB network in different availability zone(s) (AZ) are supported.

1. From the Oracle Database@AWS dashboard , select the ODB peering connections button.
2. Select the Create ODB peering connection button to start the creation process.
3. Enter an unique name in the ODB peering name field.
  Note
  
  The ODB peering name can be up to 255 characters. It must start with a letter or underscore (_) and cannot contain two successive hyphens(-). It can include the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, underscore (_), and dash (-).
4. From the dropdown list, select the ODB network.
5. From your Peer Network dropdown list, select your VPC that you want to pair with your ODB network.
6. If you want to assign a tag to your AWS resources, you can select the Add new tag button, and then enter a key and a value. This step is optional.
7. Review the information you entered and then select the Create ODB peering connection button.
8. Once the creation of the ODB peering connection is successful, you will see the success message.
9. You can also monitor the status of the provisioning and, once the ODB peering connection is active, review its details from the ODB peering connections list.
10. Once the ODB peering connection is created, you can view the details of it from the ODB peering connections list on the Oracle Database@AWS dashboard.
ODB peering connection creation is only available through the AWS Console and AWS CLI.

ODB peering connection creation is only available through the AWS Console and AWS CLI.

You can provision an ODB peering connection in AWS using the Terraform Provider hashicorp/aws (version 6.15.0 or higher).

Prerequisites

Terraform or OpenTofu installed
AWS credentials configured
HashiCorp AWS provider version >= 6.15.0

Provision of an ODB Network and a VPC

# Prerequisites: Application VPC with a Workload Subnet for ODB Peering Connection
module "app_vpc" {
  source     = "aws-ia/vpc/aws"
  version    = "4.5.0"
  name       = "tf-vpc-demo"
  azs        = ["us-west-2c"]
  cidr_block = "10.30.0.0/16"
  subnets = {
    workload = { 
      cidrs = ["10.30.1.0/24"]
    }
  } 
}

Sample Terraform Configuration

locals {
  # IDs of depending resources
  peer_network_id = module.app_vpc.vpc_attributes.id
  odb_network_id  = aws_odb_network.this.id
}

# Create a Peering Connection between the ODB Network and the VPC
resource "aws_odb_network_peering_connection" "this" {
  # Optional explicit dependencies
  depends_on = [ aws_odb_network.this, module.app_vpc ] 
  
  # Required Arguments 
  odb_network_id  = local.odb_network_id
  peer_network_id = local.peer_network_id
  display_name    = "tf-odb-peering-conn-demo"
  
  # Optional Arguments
  region          = "us-west-2"
  tags            = {
    created_via  = "terraform"
    env        = "demo"
  } 
}
