Enhanced Diagram Structure
Now, let's create an enhanced diagram that captures these details.

Best Practices for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Oracle outlines best practices under four main business goals:
Security and Compliance: Protect systems and information assets in the cloud through user authentication, resource isolation, compute security, database security, data protection, and network security.
Reliability and Resilience: Build reliable applications with fault-tolerant network architecture, service limits, data backup, and scaling.
Performance and Cost Optimization: Efficiently utilize infrastructure resources and optimize performance and cost through compute sizing, storage strategy, network monitoring, and cost management.
Operational Efficiency: Operate and monitor applications and infrastructure resources to deliver maximum business value through deployment strategy, workload monitoring, OS management, and support (Oracle) (Oracle) (Oracle) (Oracle Learn).
