Creating a Private Endpoint
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) lets you create private endpoints within the service so that you can access resources that are only available using private IPs. In Data Flow, you create a private endpoint to configure the private network where the data source is hosted.
Before you create a private endpoint in Data Flow, you must have the prerequisites and the following details:
- The name of the Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) used to access the data source.
- The name of the subnet in the VCN.
- The list of DNS zones used to resolve the Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) of the data sources that you want to harvest.
Specify the domain names or the FQDNs of the data sources in this list. For private autonomous databases, use the FQDN of the database as the DNS zone. For custom data sources running on OCI compute virtual machines (VMs), you can specify the FQDN of the VM, the domain name of the subnet in which the VM is provisioned, or the domain name of the VCN.
If you create a private endpoint with the same values for DNS Zones, Subnet, Hosts to Access, and Network Security Group as an existing private endpoint, Data Flow uses the existing private endpoint. For Data Flow to use a new private endpoint, at least one of the values for DNS Zones, Subnet, Hosts to Access, or Network Security Group must be different to an existing private endpoint.
You can create up to five private endpoints in a tenancy.
