Hi,
May I ask why we design to place the load balancer in a different VCN with the main VCN?
https://github.com/oracle-quickstart/oci-cloudnative/blob/master/deploy/basic/terraform/network.tf#L13
Is it the best practice for it?

Thanks

If you check the code, you will see that the secondary vcn is optional, and the behavior is driven by the create_secondary_vcn variable.

The standard architecture when deploying does not create the secondary VCN.

The option that creates a secondary VCN is when you use Security Zones, which does not allow internet ingress. Hear the architecture using Security Zones.
