Terraform OCI Operator for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

The Terraform OCI Operator for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides a Terraform module that reuses an existing VCN and adds a compute instance to it.

It creates the following resources:

• A private subnet

• An NSG that allows access only through a bastion host

• A compute instance:

  • accessible through the OCI Bastion Service

  • with optional instance_principal access

• An optional notification via email

This module is meant to be reusable and to be embedded in your terraform modules. The operator instance is used for:

1. performing post-provisioning tasks with Terraform or other automation tools

2. provide administrators access without the need to upload api authentication keys (instance_principal)

It can be accessed either through a Bastion host (e.g. terraform-oci-bastion) or through the OCI Bastion service.

You can further use it as part of higher level Terraform modules.
