Challenge 2 -Task 1In deploying a new application, a cloud customer needs to reflect different...

To create and configure a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) named IAD-SP-PBT-VCN-01 with an Internet Gateway and appropriate route rules for external connectivity, follow these steps based on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Networking documentation.

Step-by-Step Solution for Task 3: Create and Configure a VCN and Private Subnet

Log in to the OCI Console:

Use your OCI credentials to log in to the OCI Console (https://console.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com ).

Ensure you have access to the assigned compartment.

Navigate to Virtual Cloud Networks:

From the OCI Console, click the navigation menu (hamburger icon) on the top left.

UnderNetworking, selectVirtual Cloud Networks.

Create a New VCN:

ClickStart VCN Wizardand selectCreate VCN with Internet Connectivity.

VCN Name:Enter IAD-SP-PBT-VCN-01.

Compartment:Select the assigned compartment.

VCN CIDR Block:Enter 10.0.0.0/16 (matches the diagram's VCN CIDR).

Public Subnet CIDR Block:Enter 10.0.10.0/24 (matches the diagram's public subnet).

Accept the default settingsfor the public subnet and Internet Gateway creation.

ClickCreateto provision the VCN, Internet Gateway, and public subnet.

Verify the Internet Gateway:

After creation, go to the VCN details page for IAD-SP-PBT-VCN-01.

UnderResources, selectInternet Gateways.

Ensure the Internet Gateway is attached and enabled.

Configure Route Rules:

In the VCN details page, underResources, selectRoute Tables.

Select the default route table associated with the public subnet (10.0.10.0/24).

ClickAdd Route Rules.

Target Type:SelectInternet Gateway.

Destination CIDR Block:Enter 0.0.0.0/0.

Target Internet Gateway:Select the Internet Gateway created with the VCN.

ClickAdd Route Ruleto save.

Update Security List (if needed):

UnderResources, selectSecurity Lists.

Edit the default security list for the public subnet.

Add an ingress rule:

Source CIDR:0.0.0.0/0

IP Protocol:TCP

Source Port Range:All

Destination Port Range:22 (for SSH) or as required by your application.

Add an egress rule:

Destination CIDR:0.0.0.0/0

IP Protocol:All

Save the changes.

Note the VCN OCID:

Return to the VCN details page for IAD-SP-PBT-VCN-01.

Copy theOCIDdisplayed (e.g., ocid1.vcn.oc1..).

OCID of the Created VCN

Enter the OCID of the created VCN (IAD-SP-PBT-VCN-01) into the text box. The exact OCID will be available after Step 3 (e.g., ocid1.vcn.oc1..).
