Step by step guide - to connect to (VPN over DirectConnect) - AWS to OCI

0

Hi, I'm looking for the steps to configure AWS to OCI connectivity through a partner like Equinix facbric for direct connectivity. I'm trying to configure for additional compliance reasons a "VPN over DirectConnect "to the other OCI Cloud tenancy. I'm looking for the steps to achieve this. Can anyone share the end to end steps to achieve this.? I have seen quite a videos on setting up Direct Connect and VPN as a backup, but I could not see "setting up a VPN over a Direct Connect" to let's say on-prem network etc.

Thanks for any help.

Many Thanks, Josh

Yes, you can configure “VPN over Direct Connect” between AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using a partner like Equinix Fabric, but it requires combining private connectivity (Direct Connect ↔ FastConnect) with an IPsec VPN overlay.

  • Hi, Thanks for the links, it is useful. I'm exploring the available options to do an end-to-end like (AWS IPSEC VPN deployed over Direct Connect end-to-end through Network providers (Equinix/Megaport etc) to the other end in OCI (IPSEC VPN over FastConnect) . I'm looking at the high level steps including the enryption/decryption for the IPSec tunnels at both ends, if you can share any that will be helpful.

Hello.

I found a Japanese blog that features content similar to what you're interested in.
AWS uses Direct Connect, while OCI uses Fast Connect.
