This section of the lab walks through the steps to provision a secure VPC-based topology aligned with the with Financial the VSI on VPC landing zone Deployable Architecture as show in the diagram below.
We will then manually customize the deployed infrastructure to:
- Expose one of the VSI in the management VPC to act as a "jump box" for operator access. This jump box is the entry point for operators to access the VSIs in the workload VPC.
- Deploy an Apache server in a VSI in the workload VPC.
- Expose the web pages served by the Apache service to the internet through a public load balancer.
