Terraform example scripts

Terraform example scripts to deploy resources to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Prerequisites

1. An OCI Tenancy and an IAM/IDCS user created with the right level of access. If you do not already have a tenancy, you can request a free-tier tenancy from here
2. User should be enabled with programmatic access to OCI. For instructions on how to setup, See required Keys & OCIDS
3. A Work-Station or a Developer machine (preferably a Linux machine, But Windows will work too)
4. Terraform installed and added to path. If not installed, Download from here. For more detailed information on Terraform for OCI, check the official getting started page.
5. OCI Provider. Automatically downloaded during terraform init.

How to use these examples

• clone the repo to your work station. Preferably an Oracle Linux server on OCI (session 3 uses InstancePrincipal which needs a machine on OCI)
• cd to each example* directory to review Terraform config scripts
• In each example* directory, make sure to either:
  • add a terraform.tfvars file in the directory. See OCI TFVARS or
  • set/export system environment variables for authentication. See TF_VAR_name section in TF environment variables
• run terraform init, terraform plan & terraform apply to deploy the resource(s)
• finally, run terraform destroy to terminate the provisioned resources
