Network security is a crucial component of any enterprise application, and is central to this multi-cloud solution. Any traffic going over ExpressRoute and FastConnect passes over a private network. This configuration allows for secure communication between an Azure virtual network and an Oracle virtual cloud network. You don't need to provide a public IP address to any virtual machines in Azure. Similarly, you don't need an internet gateway in OCI. All communication happens via the private IP address of the machines.

Additionally, you can set up [security lists](https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Network/Concepts/securitylists.htm) on your OCI virtual cloud network and security rules (attached to Azure [network security groups](../../../virtual-network/security-overview.md)). Use these rules to control the traffic flowing between machines in the virtual networks. Network security rules can be added at a machine level, at a subnet level, as well as at the virtual network level.

Identity is one of the core pillars of the partnership between Microsoft and Oracle. Significant work has been done to integrate [Oracle Identity Cloud Service](https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/identity-cloud/index.html) (IDCS) with [Azure Active Directory](../../../active-directory/index.yml) (Azure AD). Azure AD is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service. It helps your users sign in and access various resources. Azure AD also allows you to manage your users and their permissions.

***Clustering is supported on Enterprise Edition only.** You are licensed to use WebLogic clustering only when using the Enterprise Edition of Oracle WebLogic Server. Do not use clustering with Oracle WebLogic Server Standard Edition.

***UDP multicast is not supported.** Azure supports UDP unicasting, but not multicasting or broadcasting. Oracle WebLogic Server is able to rely on Azure UDP unicast capabilities. For best results relying on UDP unicast, we recommend that the WebLogic cluster size is kept static, or kept with no more than 10 managed servers.
