Webinar Description

This session will cover Web Application Firewall (WAF) which helps you to protect web applications from malicious and unwanted internet traffic. You will learn about the API Gateway, which enables you to publish APIs with private endpoints that are accessible from within your network. The endpoints support API validation, request and response transformation, CORS, authentication and authorization, and request limiting. We will end with information on Certificates which let you create and manage TLS certificates, certificate authorities (CAs), and CA bundles.

Overview

In this session, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the foundational Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) networking services. The webinar will cover the deployment of these services along with best practices to guide their optimal use. You will begin with an overview of Virtual Cloud Networks (VCN), Dynamic Routing Gateways (DRG), OCI Gateways, Network Security principles, and Private Endpoints, and Private Service Access.

Description

Build a rock-solid networking foundation on OCI. This session walks through Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs) end to end - IP planning, public and private subnets, and route table design - then maps traffic flows with Internet, NAT, and Service Gateways for secure egress and private service access. We’ll show where a Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) fits for hub-and-spoke, site-to-site, and multi-VCN architectures. You’ll learn how to apply layered security using Security Lists and Network Security Groups, and how to standardize rule management at scale. We’ll close with Private Endpoints and Private Service Access to enable zero‑exposure access to services without touching the public internet. Leave with reference patterns and practical guardrails you can apply immediately in production.

Overview

This session explores Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) networking solutions, focusing on seamless connectivity options for local (intra-region), remote (inter-region) and external (on-prem and other clouds) environments. Key topics include Local Peering Gateway (LPG) and Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) for intra-region communication and Remote Peering Connection (RPC) for inter-region communication. For external connectivity, we delve into IPSec VPN, FastConnect options through Oracle partners and third-party providers, colocation with Oracle, and hybrid solutions like IPSec VPN over FastConnect. Additionally, we highlight multi-cloud strategies with Azure Interconnect and GCP Interconnect, ensuring robust, secure, and scalable cloud networking. Join us to discover how OCI enhances enterprise connectivity across diverse scenarios.

Description

Extend your OCI footprint across VCNs, regions, data centers, and clouds with predictable performance and strong security. We’ll start with local and remote VCN peering—Local Peering Gateways (LPG), Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) and Remote Peering Connections (RPC)—covering routing design, use-cases, and best practices. Then we’ll compare external connectivity options: IPSec VPN for rapid, encrypted connectivity; FastConnect for high-throughput, low-latency private links; and deployment models via Oracle partners, third-party providers, or customer colocation. Finally, we’ll examine multicloud patterns using OCI–Azure Interconnect and OCI–Google Cloud Interconnect, including HA topologies, routing best practices, and typical latency/bandwidth profiles for data replication, app tiering, and DR.
