OCI Shape Types

The VM-Series firewalls support the following OCI VM shapes. See Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation for more information about VM shapes.

VM-Series Model	Minimum OCI Shape	OCPUs	Memory
VM-100 Software NFGW Credit-based VM-Series	VM.Standard2.4	4	60
VM-300 Software NFGW Credit-based VM-Series	VM.Standard2.4	4	60
VM-500 Software NFGW Credit-based VM-Series	VM.Standard2.8	8	120
VM-700 Software NFGW Credit-based VM-Series	VM.Standard2.16	16	240
VM-100, VM-300, VM-500, and VM-700 Software NFGW Credit-based VM-Series	VM.Optimized3.Flex VM.Standard3.Flex	18	256
VM-100, VM-300, VM-500, and VM-700 Software NFGW Credit-based VM-Series	VM.Standard.E4.Flex (AMD instance)	comes with default 1 CPU and maximum of 64 OCPUs	64 GB per OCPU, up to 1024 GB total
	VM.Standard.E5.Flex (AMD instance)	comes with default 1 CPU and maximum of 94 OCPUs	64 GB per OCPU, up to 1049 GB total
	VM.Standard.E6.Flex (AMD instance)	comes with default 1 CPU and maximum of 126 OCPUs	64 GB per OCPU, up to 1454 GB total

AMD VM.Standard.E4.Flex, VM.Standard.E5.Flex, and VM.Standard.E6.Flex instances come with one default CPU and supports one vNIC. For multiple vNICs, configure OCPUs in the required range.

You can deploy the VM-Series firewall on an OCI instance with more resources than the minimum VM-Series System Requirements. Although the firewall only uses the maximum vCPUs cores and memory listed on the system requirements page, it does take advantage of the faster network performance that the larger shape provides.
