Create a virtual cloud network and public-facing subnets

This recipe is part of the process of deploying FortiGate for OCI. Note OCI is only supported by FortiOS 5.4.8. See below for the rest of the recipes in this process:

1. Create a virtual cloud network and public-facing subnets
2. Create a security list
3. Create a route table for the internal network
4. Create internal network subnet
5. Obtain the deployment image file and place it in your bucket
6. Import the image
7. Launch the FortiGate instance
8. Attach a storage to FortiGate (required)
9. Access the FortiGate
10. Create the second vNIC
11. Configure the second vNIC on the FortiGate
12. Change the protected network’s default route
13. [Connectivity test] Configure FortiGate firewall policies and virtual IPs

1. In OCI, click Create Virtual Cloud Network.
   
2. In the NAME field, enter the VCN name. Then, select CREATE VIRTUAL CLOUD NETWORK PLUS RELATED RESOURCES. This allows you to create the Internet gateway, routing table, and subnet all together using Oracle default settings. If you intend to create each resource separately by specifying your own inputs, click CREATE VIRTUAL CLOUD NETWORK ONLY. In this example, the first choice is used.
   
3. Click Create Virtual Cloud Network at the bottom of the screen.
   
   This configures the related resources. There are three subnets, each of which will belong to an availability domain. They can be defined as public-facing networks (connecting to the Internet). In this example, (1) is 10.0.x.x/24. You can access the FortiGate over the Internet once it is deployed via HTTPS through the GUI management screen or via SSH.
