    Episode 3 – Create a Virtual Cloud Network<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    In the previous episode<\/a> we’ve created our compartment, the foundation stone, of the architecture that we will build during this Discovering MySQL Database Service<\/em><\/strong> journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this episode, we’ll see what is a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) and how to create one and use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Virtual Cloud Network (VCN)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Oracle Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs) provide customizable and private cloud networks in OCI.
    Just like a traditional data center network, the VCN provides customers with complete control over their cloud networking environment. This includes assigning private IP address spaces, creating subnets and route tables, and configuring stateful firewalls.
    For more information please see     VCNs and Subnets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Create a Virtual Cloud Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you are a network expert, OCI provides you the tools and the granularity to create your VCN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    if, like me, your are not an expert and\/or if you want to quickly create a VCN with all the relevant component, the VCN Wizard<\/a><\/strong> is the right feature for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
