Cannot Connect to My First Instance: Timeout

Coming from other clouds, just got started with using Oracle cloud. Apologies for the super noob question.

So, I created a compute instance in my company's non production compartment, with the following specs.

Instance details

Virtual cloud network: VCN_SG1_SPG_DB

Image: Canonical-Ubuntu-22.04-2024.02.18-0

Public IP address: 58.108.296.13

Primary VNIC

Public IPv4 address: 58.108.296.13

Subnet: VCN_SG1_SPG_DB

Private DNS record: Enable

Hostname: data-science-development

Username: ubuntu

I also got an ssh.key file that reads like

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEowIBAAKCAQEA
dW50MEs/vLXs2a5DvmIEMuyiA1E+3+wk1f6hEs+y/yPMHA6qFGe/
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

So, this is what I am trying from my Macbook for login

chmod 400 ssh.key
ssh -i ssh.key ubuntu@58.108.296.13 

I am getting a timeout error, as obviously my macbook cannot reach the ip address.

So, what else should I check to ensure smooth login? I cannot see a way to open a terminal to this instance from the OCI web interface itself. But its state shows running. Is there a way to ensure the key I am trying is in the authorized_keys file or really recognised by this instance? Or could it have something to do with the subnet or VCN? Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

How doc gen treats nulls values?

You have to be more specific. Are your referring to the pre-built Document Generator function?

If so:

When my query return null in some columns

What is the JSON that is generated?

You should always include the element in the JSON, with an empty value. Don't leave it out.

Since September 2024, when a tag has no corresponding value in the JSON data or the value is null, the tag is replaced by an empty string.
