OCI architecture

“

(soft music) - Welcome back. In this lesson, I'll discuss the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure architecture. There are three main constructs of this physical architecture of OCI: regions, availability domains, and fault domains. First, a region represents a localized geographic area that is comprised of one or more availability domains, which are essentially physical data centers located within that region. These availability domains are connected to each other by a low latency, high bandwidth network. Now, the term latency refers to the delay that occurs when data is transferred from one system or resource to another. So, within a region with low latency, we are minimizing this delay, which provides for much better performance for all sorts of different applications and services communicating with each other. And third is a fault domain, which is a grouping of hardware and infrastructure within each availability domain. Fault domains allow you to distribute your cloud resources, such as…
