To create a Security Zone named IAD_SAP-PBT-CSZ-01 in your assigned compartment and associate it with the Custom Security Zone Recipe IAD-SP-PBT-CSP-01 created in the previous task, follow these steps based on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Security Zones documentation.

Step-by-Step Solution for Task 2: Create a Security Zone

Log in to the OCI Console:

Use your OCI credentials to log in to the OCI Console (https://console.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com ).

Ensure you have access to the assigned compartment.

Navigate to Security Zones:

From the OCI Console, click the navigation menu (hamburger icon) on the top left.

UnderGovernance and Administration, selectSecurity Zones.

Create a New Security Zone:

In the Security Zones dashboard, click theCreate Security Zonebutton.

Configure the Security Zone Details:

Name:Enter IAD_SAP-PBT-CSZ-01.

Compartment:Select the assigned compartment provided.

Description:(Optional) Add a description, e.g., "Security Zone for public subnet compute instances."

Associate the Custom Security Zone Recipe:

In theRecipesection, select the custom recipe IAD-SP-PBT-CSP-01 created in Task 1 from the dropdown list.

Ensure the recipe is correctly associated to enforce the policy allowing compute instances in the public subnet.

Define the Security Zone Scope:

UnderResources to Protect, select the compartment or specific resources (e.g., the VCN with CIDR 10.0.0.0/16 and public subnet 10.0.10.0/24) to apply the security zone.

Check the box to include all resources in the selected compartment if applicable.

Create the Security Zone:

ClickCreateto finalize the security zone creation.

Once created, note theOCIDof the security zone from the security zone details page. The OCID will be a unique identifier starting with ocid1.securityzone.

Verify the Security Zone:

Go to theSecurity Zonestab and locate IAD_SAP-PBT-CSZ-01.

Confirm the associated recipe (IAD-SP-PBT-CSP-01) and the applied policies.

OCID of the Created Security Zone

The exact OCID will be generated upon creation (e.g., ocid1.securityzone.oc1..). Please enter the OCID displayed in the OCI Console after completing Step 7.

Task 7: Verify the OCI Certificate with Load Balancer

Step 1: Obtain the Public IP of the Load Balancer

Log in to the OCI Console.

Navigate toNetworking>Load Balancers.

Click on PBT-CERT-LB-01.

Note thePublic IP Addressfrom the load balancer details page.

Step 2: Verify HTTPS Connection Using Cloud Shell

Open the OCI Cloud Shell from the top-right corner of the OCI Console.

Run the following command, replacing with the public IP you noted:

curl -k https://

Expected output: You should see the text "You are visiting Web Server 1" if the connection is successful. The -k flag ignores certificate validation errors (common during initial testing with self-signed or newly issued certificates).

If you encounter an error, ensure the load balancer is active, the listener is configured correctly, and the backend server (PBT-CERT-VM-01) is reachable.

Step 3: Verify in a Web Browser

Open a web browser.

Enter the following URL, replacing with the public IP you noted:

https://

If prompted with a certificate warning (e.g., due to a self-signed certificate or untrusted CA), accept the risk and proceed (click "Advanced" and "Proceed" or similar, depending on your browser).

Verify that the web page displays the text "You are visiting Web Server 1" from the index.html file created on PBT-CERT-VM-01.

Step 4: Troubleshoot (if needed)

If the text is not displayed:

Check the load balancer health status underBackend Sets>Healthin the OCI Console.

Ensure the security list PBT-CERT-LB-SL-01 allows port 443 and the compute instance security list allows port 80.

Verify the Apache service is running on PBT-CERT-VM-01 by SSHing in and running sudo systemctl status httpd.

Task 6: Create Load Balancer and Attach Certificate

Step 1: Create the Load Balancer

Log in to the OCI Console.

Navigate toNetworking>Load Balancers.

ClickCreate Load Balancer.

Enter the following details:

Name: PBT-CERT-LB-01

Compartment: Select your assigned compartment.

Load Balancer Type: SelectPublic.

Virtual Cloud Network: Select PBT-CERT-VCN-01.

Subnet: Select LB-Subnet-PBT-CERT-SNET-02.

Shape: Choose a shape (e.g., 10 Mbps, adjust based on needs).

ClickNext.

Leave backend sets and listeners as default for now (we’ll configure the listener next).

ClickCreate Load Balancerand wait for it to be provisioned.

Step 2: Create a Listener

Once the load balancer is created, go to theLoad Balancerspage and click on PBT-CERT-LB-01.

UnderResources, clickListeners.

ClickCreate Listener.

Enter the following details:

Name: PBT-CERT-LB_LTSN_01

Protocol: SelectHTTPS.

Port: Enter 443.

Certificate: ClickAdd Certificate, then select the PBT-CERT-01 certificate (e.g., PBT-CERT-0199008677labuser01) created in Task 5.

Leave other settings (e.g., SSL handling) as default unless specified.

ClickCreate.

Step 3: Configure the Backend Set

In the PBT-CERT-LB-01 details page, underResources, clickBackend Sets.

ClickCreate Backend Set(if not already created).

Enter basic details (e.g., name like PBT-CERT-BS-01).

Add a backend server:

IP Address: Use the private IP of PBT-CERT-VM-01 (find this in the instance details underCompute>Instances).

Port: 80 (HTTP, as configured on the web server).

Protocol: HTTP.

ClickCreate.

Step 4: Attach the Security List to the Subnet

Navigate toNetworking>Virtual Cloud Networks.

Select PBT-CERT-VCN-01 and clickSubnets.

Click on LB-Subnet-PBT-CERT-SNET-02.

UnderSecurity Lists, ensure PBT-CERT-LB-SL-01 is attached. If not:

ClickEdit.

Remove the default security list and add PBT-CERT-LB-SL-01.

ClickSave Changes.

Step 5: Verify the Configuration

Ensure the load balancer health status is OK (check underBackend Sets>Health).

Test by accessing https:// in a browser (replace with the public IP from the load balancer details).

Since I can’t create resources or retrieve OCIDs directly in your OCI environment, I’ll provide a step-by-step solution based on verified OCI documentation and best practices as of 02:30 PM BST on Thursday, June 12, 2025. Follow these instructions precisely in the OCI Console or CLI, using the preconfigured PBI_Vault_SP vault and the PBT-CERT-CA-01 Certificate Authority created in the previous task. Replace with your actual username (e.g., 99008677-lab.user01), ensuring special characters are removed.

Task 5: Create a Certificate

Step 1: Access the OCI Vault

Log in to the OCI Console.

Navigate toIdentity & Security>Vault.

Select the root compartment.

Locate and click on the vault named PBI_Vault_SP.

Step 2: Create the Certificate

In the PBI_Vault_SP vault details page, underResources, clickCertificates.

ClickCreate Certificate.

Enter the following details:

Name: Replace with your username (e.g., if your username is 99008677-lab.user01, remove special characters like - and . to get 99008677labuser01, then use PBT-CERT-0199008677labuser01).

Common Name: Enter PBT-CERT-OCICERT-01.

Certificate Authority: Select the PBT-CERT-CA-01 CA created in Task 4 (e.g., PBT-CERT-CA-0199008677labuser01).

Subject: Leave as default or adjust (e.g., Organization, Country) if required.

Validity Period: Set as needed (e.g., 1 year), or use the default.

Compartment: Ensure it’s set to the root compartment.

ClickCreate Certificateand wait for the certificate to be issued.

Step 3: Verify the Certificate

After creation, go to theCertificatessection under PBI_Vault_SP.

Confirm the certificate PBT-CERT-01 (e.g., PBT-CERT-0199008677labuser01) is listed and its status is active.
