Terraform Provider for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

OCI Terraform Provider gives Oracle customers access to an enterprise class, developer friendly orchestration tool they can use to manage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This Terraform provider is open-source software, available to all OCI customers at no charge.

Compatibility

The OCI Terraform Provider is compatible with Terraform v0.10.1 or greater.

Coverage

The OCI Terraform Provider supports the entire OCI API, with a few minor exceptions.

Getting started

To see supported OCI resources and view documentation go to the OCI resource and datasource documentation Table of Contents.

Be sure to read the FAQ and Writing Terraform configurations for OCI document in the docs section.

Installation

On Oracle Linux 7.x

$ sudo yum install -y terraform terraform-provider-oci

Other platforms

Download Terraform

Download the appropriate v0.11.x binary for your platform.
https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

Install Terraform

https://www.terraform.io/intro/getting-started/install.html

Get the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Terraform provider

https://github.com/oracle/terraform-provider-oci/releases

Unpack the provider.

On Mac or other Linux flavors

Copy the provider to the following location:

~/.terraform.d/plugins/

On Windows

Copy the provider to the following location:

%APPDATA%/terraform.d/plugins/

Note: %APPDATA% is a system path specific to your Windows version.

Setup credentials for using OCI

Every call to OCI infrastructure requires a minimum of four credentials. These are tenancy_ocid, user_ocid, fingerprint and private_key_path. It is common to export these values as environment variables, or source them in different bash profiles when executing Terraform commands. See the next section for OS specific instructions on configuring these environment values.

Here is breakdown of required as well as commonly set configuration values:

• tenancy_ocid - The global identifier for your account, always shown on the bottom of the web console.
• user_ocid - The identifier of the user account you will be using Terraform with.
• private_key_path - The path to the private key stored on your computer. The public key portion must be added to the user account above in the API Keys section of the web console.
• fingerprint - The fingerprint of the public key added in the above user's API Keys section of the web console.

For details on how to create and configure keys see Required Keys and OCIDs.

If you primarily work in a single compartment consider defining a compartment_ocid as well. The tenancy OCID is also the OCID of the root compartment, so that can be used where resources expect a compartment_id or compartment_ocid.

*nix

If your Terraform configurations are limited to a single compartment or user then using this bash_profile option will work well. For more complex environments you may want to maintain multiple sets of environment variables. See the compute single instance example for more info.

In your ~/.bash_profile set these variables

export TF_VAR_tenancy_ocid=<value>
export TF_VAR_compartment_ocid=<value>
export TF_VAR_user_ocid=<value>
export TF_VAR_fingerprint=<value>
export TF_VAR_private_key_path=<value>

Once you've set these values open a new terminal or source your profile changes

$ source ~/.bash_profile

Windows

setx TF_VAR_tenancy_ocid <value>
setx TF_VAR_compartment_ocid <value>
setx TF_VAR_user_ocid <value>
setx TF_VAR_fingerprint <value>
setx TF_VAR_private_key_path <value>

The variables won't be set for the current session, exit the terminal and reopen.

Deploy an example configuration

Download the virtual cloud network example.

# Change to the directory of an example like: 
$ cd doc/examples/networking/vcn

# Initialize the plugin for this template directory
$ terraform init

# Run the plan command to see what will happen
$ terraform plan
  
# If the plan looks right, apply it
$ terraform apply

# If you are done with this infrastructure, take it down
$ terraform destroy
