Configuring a LAMP site on Oracle Cloud and Google G Suit for DNS resolution with SSL

Someone asked me for help to configure a domain and I found out that there are lot’s of tutorials out there that aim to show you how to configure a web site using Oracle Cloud but any of them actually shows what you need to do if you want to do something productive with it, for example, host the website on a VM of free tier whereas the domain is managed by a 3rd party company such as Google using G Suit.

Client search for a domain, the domain is resolved within Google DNS, it resolves to VM within Oracle Cloud which has an Internet Gateway, the VM has attached an additional storage block.

This step is optional but certainly is helpful to have everything under control because the things can become crazy from one step to another and you don’t want to delete by accident a production machine.

This is the first important step on a series of very important and deadly steps, this VCN is the representation of a physical network that will be attached to the VM.
