Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the security fundamentals of OCI. We explained principals, compartments, policies, instance principals, and federation concepts. You have learned how to design a logical separation of resources within compartments, and then give access to certain users to perform operations on certain resources within a compartment. You have also looked at how to implement IAM to give native security access to OCI instances, so it can call the OCI API without the need to store local user credentials.
In the next chapter, we will learn how OCI implements virtual networking and some of the advanced scenarios that depict how you can connect your on-premises data center to a regional OCI data center.
