Your DevOps team needs to interconnect the on-premises network to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources, such as a managed database that resides in a private subnet. They indicate that they have a low budget and their bandwidth requirements are minimal, so you decide that a site-to-site VPN is the best option. They provide you with their router public IP address. You need to create an object in OCI that represents this router.
Which object would you create?
To interconnect the on-premises network to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources using a site-to-site VPN, you would need to create a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) object. The CPE represents the on-premises router or VPN device provided by your DevOps team. This object is essential for establishing the IPsec VPN connection between the on-premises network and OCI by using the router's public IP address.
Correct Answer: D Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The explanation is that CPE is an object in OCI that represents your on-premises router or VPN device that connects to your VCN via a site-to-site VPN. A site-to-site VPN is a secure and encrypted connection between your on-premises network and your VCN over the public internet. To set up a site-to-site VPN, you need to create a CPE object with your router's public IP address and other information, such as vendor and platform. You also need to create a Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) object in your VCN and attach it to your VCN. Then, you need to create an IPSec connection between your CPE and DRG, which will create two redundant VPN tunnels for high availability.
