Private Endpoints for OCI Autonomous Database

It is not the first blog post about ATP, but I think this one is even more interesting. For your information, a few days back at OCI Release Notes webpage I have found information about new features for OCI Autonomous DB offering. I am talking about Private Endpoints for ATP or ADW databases. This feature has been awaited for a very long time. Previously your ATP or ADW databases were available only via public IPs. Now you can nest them inside a particular VCN and subnet. It means your database will be available under private IP enclosed in your subnet’s CIDR. Of course, you need to prepare some Network Security Groups (NSG) on ATP/ADW level and VM level. Since that moment VM can connect to ATP/ADW with SQLNet connection via private IP. For testing purposes I have created small GitHub repo and below you can find a video about how to use that repo. I believe you will find this dish very delicious. 🙂

Bon Appetit,

Martin, The Cook.
