A company XYZ has been using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to host their mission-critical applications, but they have decided to start using Azure for…

The OCI-Azure Interconnect is the official Oracle-Microsoft partnership solution for establishing a

private, high-bandwidth, and low-latency connection between OCI and Azure. This interconnect

leverages Azure ExpressRoute and Oracle FastConnect to create a dedicated network link, bypassing the

public internet for enhanced security and performance. A VPN connection (Option A) is possible but less

optimal due to higher latency and lower reliability compared to the interconnect. Using the public internet

(Option B) is insecure and unsuitable for mission-critical applications. This solution is detailed in

Oracle’s multicloud architecture guides and the OCI-Azure partnership documentation, emphasizing its

suitability for enterprise multicloud deployments.
