Cisco ISE on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Cisco ISE is available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). To configure and install Cisco ISE on OCI, you must be familiar with some OCI features and solutions. Some concepts that you must be familiar with before you begin include compartments, availability domains, images and shapes, and boot volumes. The unit of OCI's compute resources is Oracle CPUs (OCPUs). One OCPU is equal to two vCPUs.
See Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
Cisco ISE is available on OCI in two forms, image and stack. We recommend that you use the stack type to install Cisco ISE because this resource type is customized for ease of use for Cisco ISE users.

The Optimized3.Flex shapes are compute-optimized and are best suited for use as PSNs for compute-intensive tasks and applications.
The Standard3.Flex shapes are general purpose shapes that are best suited for use as PAN or MnT nodes or both and are intended for data processing tasks and database operations.
If you use a general purpose instance as a PSN, the performance numbers are lower than the performance of a compute-optimized instance as a PSN.
The Standard3.Flex (4 OCPU, 32 GB) shape must be used as an extra small PSN only.
For information on the scale and performance data for OCI instance types, see the Performance and Scalability Guide for Cisco Identity Services Engine.
Note |
Do not clone an existing OCI image to create a Cisco ISE instance. |
