How to secure your cloud network and compute instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure; you will be using private subnets, Security rules, Firewall rules, Gateways and route tables, IAM policies, and Security zones. we will also compare the Security Lists and Network Security Groups. what are the top 5 best practices to be followed for the Security Rules that are also covered in this session?

It is part 5 of our series to learn the basics of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In this, we will cover key 5 areas:

1. Access controls
2. Security Rules
3. Network security groups
4. Security Lists
5. VCN Flow logs

Above point 3 to 5 covering Network Security Groups (NSG), Security Lists and VCN Flow logs are covered in this session part 6 of the OCI series.

If you are listening to this session first time, my suggestion is to start from part 1.

In the second station of our journey to learn Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We will cover different gateways available in the VCN like:

• Network address translation (NAT Gateway),
• Service Gateway,
• Internet Gateway,
• Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG),
• Local Peering Gateway (LPG), and
• Remote Peering Gateway (RPG).

When you will arrive at the third station of our journey, to learn OCI, you will get the basics of default components of VCN, including the below three-component comes by default with the Virtual Cloud Network on OCI.

• Default route table, with no route rules
• Default security list, with default security rules
• A default set of DHCP options, with default values

In the fourth station of our journey, we will cover the three different scenarios, public subnet, Private Subnet with a VPN, and Public and Private Subnets with a VPN.

This is available as audio and video in both formats. If you want to watch a demo and see how you will configure then you need to go to the youtube channel otechtalks and if you are on the move, let’s take a ride to learn:
