Table: oci_core_vcn - Query OCI Core Virtual Cloud Networks using SQL

A Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) is a customizable, private network in OCI. It closely resembles a traditional network, with firewall rules and specific types of communication gateways that you can choose to use. A VCN resides in a single OCI region and covers a single, contiguous CIDR block of your choice.

Table Usage Guide

The oci_core_vcn table provides insights into Virtual Cloud Networks within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). As a network administrator, you can explore network-specific details through this table, including the state of the VCN, its CIDR block, and associated DNS label. Utilize it to uncover information about your VCNs, such as their default security list, route table, and whether they are using DNS resolution.

Examples

Basic info

Explore which Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs) are active and the associated metadata for each. This can be useful in gaining insights into your network's configuration and identifying any potential issues or areas for optimization.

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- oci

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_oci --config '<your_config>' oci_core_vcn
