For private peering, what does OCI FastConnect primarily extend?

OCI FastConnect primarily extends your existing infrastructure to a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). This service provides a dedicated, high-throughput connection that allows enterprises to securely connect their on-premises data centers and private networks directly to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

By establishing this connection, organizations can achieve a more reliable and consistent network performance compared to using traditional internet connections, which can face issues such as latency and availability. The direct link enables seamless integration of resources in the cloud with the existing infrastructure, allowing for enhanced data transfer, reduced latency, and better security since the traffic does not traverse the internet. This is particularly important for enterprises that run mission-critical applications and require a stable and secure environment to operate.

The other options, while they may have some relevance to connectivity solutions, do not accurately represent the fundamental purpose of OCI FastConnect in the context of private peering. Thus, the option that emphasizes extending infrastructure to a VCN underscores the primary function of this service within the Oracle Cloud ecosystem.
