This page describes how to set up a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network for your
Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud uses VPC networking projects to manage
connectivity to your Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources. For more
information about how VPC networks work at Google Cloud,
see VPC networks.
Before you begin
To configure a VPC network for your Oracle Database@Google Cloud
resources, you need a Google Cloud project with billing enabled.
The VPC network must be in the same Google Cloud project
as your Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources.
Complete the following steps before setting up your VPC network:
To connect to your Oracle Database@Google Cloud resources, you need to define a
VPC network. You can create a VPC network
using the Google Cloud console, Google Cloud CLI, or VPC API.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud only supports IPv4 connections.
To create a VPC network, choose one of the following:
