Overview
OCI is a public cloud computing service that enables you to run your applications in a highly-available, hosted environment offered by Oracle.
The ASA virtual runs the same software as physical ASA virtuals to deliver proven security functionality in a virtual form factor. The ASA virtual can be deployed in the public OCI. It can then be configured to protect virtual and physical data center workloads that expand, contract, or shift their location over time.
OCI Compute Shapes
A shape is a template that determines the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and other resources that are allocated to an instance. The ASA virtual supports the following Standard – General purpose OCI shape types:

-
The ASA virtual requires a minimum of 3 interfaces.
-
In OCI, 1 oCPU is equal to 2 vCPUs.
-
The maximum supported vCPUs is 16 (8 oCPUs).
You create an account on OCI, launch a compute instance using the Cisco ASA virtual firewall (ASA virtual) offering on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, and choose an OCI shape.
