Create a Virtual Cloud Network

Create a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) so that you can perform cloud scaling.

You must already have signed up for an Oracle Cloud account and have an associated tenancy.

Oracle documentation can be found at Overview of Networking and Creating a Virtual Cloud Network.

An Oracle VCN must be created to create an environment in NavOps.
  1. Login to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.
  2. Click located in the upper left-hand corner of the web page.
  3. Click Networking > Virtual Cloud Networks.
  4. Choose a region based on the geographical location of your users.
    Figure 1. Select a Region

    Select a Region
  5. Click Create VCN.
  6. Enter the following to create a VNC:
    1. For CREATE IN COMPARTMENT, select compartment you created for this environment or the root compartment.
    2. For NAME, enter a name for the VNC.
      The name can be anything meaningful to your organization, e.g., bursting_vnc.
    3. For IPV4 CIDR BLOCK, specify the CIDR for the VCN. e.g. 10.0.0.0/16
  7. Click Create VCN.
    A summary of the VCN, internet gateway, default route table and subnets is displayed.
  8. Open the VCN and click the Internet Gateways link.
  9. Click Create Internet Gateway.
  10. For NAME, provide a name for the Internet Gateway.
  11. For CREATE IN COMPARTMENT, choose the compartment allocated to you.
  12. Click Create Internet Gateway.
  13. Open VCN > Subnet > Default Route Table.
  14. Click Add Route Rules.
  15. For TARGET TYPE, choose Internet Gateway.
  16. For DESTINATION CIDR BLOCK, choose 0.0.0.0/0.
  17. Choose the TARGET INTERNET GATEWAY.
  18. Click Add Route Rules.
  19. Open the VCN, click Security Lists link.
  20. Open the default security list and click Add Ingress Rules.
  21. For SOURCE TYPE, choose CIDR.
  22. For SOURCE CIDR, 0.0.0.0/0.

    Warning: 0.0.0.0/0 enables all IPv4 addresses to access your instance. This is acceptable for a short time in a test environment, but it's unsafe for production environments. In production, authorize only a specific IP address or range of addresses to access your instance.
Next, create a virtual machine that is hosted in one of the region's availability domains.
