After registering for the ACE Apprentice profile in December 2025, I have completed the journey in June 2026 and I have been recognized as an Oracle ACE Associate for the term June 2026 to May 2027.

In the next 12 months, I will continue my journey in the ACE Associate level with a goal of retaining the title by crontibuting for 100 points in various Oracle technology topics like #OCI, #OCI-Multicloud, #OracleLinux, #OracleSolaris, #OracleVirtualisation etc.

Accessing OCI Compute Instances Using VNC Console (Instance Console Connection)

Image
  Overview In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), administrators occasionally face scenarios where SSH access to a compute instance is unavailable —for example, due to network misconfiguration, firewall issues, or OS-level boot problems. To handle such situations, OCI provides Instance Console Connection , which enables VNC-based graphical console access and serial console access to compute instances. In this post, I demonstrate how to access an OCI Compute instance using the VNC console , explain when to use it, and highlight best practices for secure and effective troubleshooting. ⚠️ This demonstration is performed in a personal OCI tenancy using test instances. No customer environments or confidential information are exposed. Oracle Products Used Oracle Cloud Infrastructure OCI Compute Instance Console Connection OCI IAM Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) What Is Instance Console Connection?
