Introduction
One of the first steps when deploying resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is creating a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN).
A VCN provides a private networking environment where cloud resources can communicate securely.
Step 1: Open the OCI Console
Navigate to the Networking section in the OCI Console.
Select:
Networking → Virtual Cloud Networks → Create VCN
Step 2: Configure Network Settings
During setup you define:
• Network name
• CIDR block
• Compartment
Step 3: Configure Subnets
OCI allows you to create both:
• Public subnets
• Private subnets
Public subnets allow internet access, while private subnets protect sensitive services like databases.
Conclusion
Creating a VCN is one of the foundational tasks when deploying resources in OCI. It allows you to build secure, scalable network architectures within Oracle’s cloud environment.
