Setting up a Site-to-Site VPN on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers several key benefits related to connectivity and reliability:
Static or Dynamic Routing (BGP): OCI allows customers to configure Site-to-Site VPN with either static routing or dynamic routing using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This flexibility enables customers to choose the routing method that best suits their network configuration and requirements.
Redundant VPN Tunnels: OCI automatically provisions redundant VPN tunnels when you set up a Site-to-Site VPN. These redundant tunnels ensure high availability and fault tolerance, so if one tunnel fails, traffic can continue to flow through the other tunnel without interruption.
Bandwidth Considerations: While the VPN provides a reliable connection, it typically does not exceed 2 Gbps in bandwidth. Higher bandwidth connections usually require FastConnect.
Private Connection: The VPN does create a secure and private connection between on-premises data centers and OCI, but it does not inherently provide a consistent network experience in the way that a dedicated connection like FastConnect does.
