Prerequisites for Network Security Groups

Before you configure network security groups (NSGs) for your Oracle Analytics Cloud instances, complete the required prerequisites.

VCN and Subnet Configuration

Configure the VCN you want to use with or without public access. See OCI VCN with Public and Private Subnet or OCI VCN with Only Private Subnet.

Ensure there's at least 4 IP addresses available in the subnet that you want Oracle Analytics Cloud to use.

Network Security Group Configuration

Configure all the NSGs you want to use in the same VCN as your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance. See Working with Network Security Groups.

Add ingress rules to the NSG to control inbound traffic to a private Oracle Analytics Cloud instance.

Add egress rules to the NSG to control outbound traffic from a public or private Oracle Analytics Cloud instance going to private data sources (through a private access channel).

Additional Policy Requirements

You or whoever plans to configure NSGs for your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance must have the required policy to use NSGs at the tenancy level or individual compartment level:
  • ALLOW GROUP <ANALYTICS ADMIN> TO USE network-security-groups in TENANCY
