Welcome to the Oracle BareMetal Cloud!

I am not sure if you know that, but Oracle have made Oracle BareMetal Cloud Services available for the customers. Besides one VM shape we could now provision physical machines in 3 shapes - Bare Metal Standard IO, High IO and Dense IO:
But before machine's (or VM's) provisioning will take place, first we have to prepare networking stuff. Within tenant (account equivalent) there is a need for logical separation. This could be done with compartments:
At the very beginning, in your tenant, you will have root compartment. You can add compartments as much as you need. Just after compartment creation we will have to create our own VCN (Virtual Cloud Network). The VCN is very similar to AWS VPC feature. The VCN need to be then split into one or more subnets.
After VCN provisioning you should see something more-less like this one below. For VPN site-2-site connection also need to configure DRG (Dynamic Routing Gateway). This will be cloud based endpoint connected to your on-premise physical router.
Finally on top of the network we could create IaaS instances (VM or BM) and even higher level services such as PaaS instances (DB Systems):
I am sure that Oracle BareMetal Cloud will be growing very fast in the near future. Hope to share some details soon.
Best,
Luke
