This page describes the steps to successfully create and provision a
Partner Cross-Cloud Interconnect for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) connection.
Before you start the Partner Cross-Cloud Interconnect for OCI provisioning process,
you must already have an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account.
To create and provision a Partner Cross-Cloud Interconnect for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) connection,
follow these steps:
Google Cloud regions are paired with specific OCI
regions. When you choose a specific Google Cloud region to create your
resources in, you must choose the corresponding OCI region.
Create a VLAN attachment for a Partner Cross-Cloud Interconnect for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) connection.
This step generates a pairing key that you share with OCI.
The pairing key is a unique key that lets OCI identify and connect to your
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network and associated Cloud Router.
OCI requires this key to complete the configuration of your VLAN attachment.
Submit the pairing key and other connection
details, such as the connection capacity and location to OCI. After the OCI
configuration is complete, you receive an email notification from Google.
After OCI configures your connection, you must activate it.
Activating the connection and checking its activation status lets you
verify that you established connectivity with OCI.
