Summary
In this chapter, we have learned about the fundamentals of Oracle's second-generation cloud infrastructure and its building blocks, such as regions, ADs, fault domains, and off-box virtualization. These foundational pillars help Oracle to uniquely distinguish itself from other cloud providers in the market.
In the next chapter, we will go through the first and most important block of OCI's foundation, which is IAM. We will examine how OCI creates a logical separation of its resources using compartments, and we will learn how to assign roles and accesses using policy definitions.
