Creating a Dynamic Routing Gateway
On Compute Cloud@Customer, a DRG is the equivalent of a general purpose router. A DRG is used to connect a VCN to the data center's IP address space. The router is configured separately from the VCNs, at the compartment level and is not required to be in the same compartment as the VCN (but it typically is).
After the DRG is configured, the DRG can be attached to more than one VCN and, similar to a physical router, can be attached and detached at any time, although perhaps with traffic loss. Also like a physical router, even when attached to a VCN, the DRG must have route table rules to steer traffic to the on-premises data center network's IP address space.
