Terraform provider for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle customers now have access to an enterprise class, developer friendly orchestration tool they can use to manage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

This Terraform provider is OSS, available to all OCI customers at no charge.

Compatibility

The provider is compatible with Terraform v0.10.x.

Coverage

The Terraform provider provides coverage for the entire OCI API, with some minor exceptions.

Getting started

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

Installation

NOTE Terraform v0.10.x introduces a change to plugin management where previous v0.9.x configuration no longer applies. See note below.

On Oracle Linux 7.x

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

Other platforms

Download Terraform

Download the appropriate v0.10.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. Terraform v0.10.x introduces a change to plugin management where v0.9.x configuration no longer applies. To be compatible with both terraform v0.9.x and v0.10.x, do the following depending on your platform.

On *nix other than Oracle Linux 7.x

Copy the provider to the following location:

~/.terraform.d/plugins/

For terraform v0.9.x only

Create the ~/.terraformrc file that specifies the path to the oci provider.

providers {
  oci = "~/.terraform.d/plugins/terraform-provider-oci"
}

On Windows

Copy the provider to the following location:

%APPDATA%/terraform.d/plugins/

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

For terraform v0.9.x only

Create %APPDATA%/terraform.rc that specifies the path to the oci provider.

providers {
  oci = "%appdata%/terraform.d/plugins/terraform-provider-oci"
}

Export credentials

Required Keys and OCIDs - https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm

If you primarily work in a single compartment consider exporting that compartment's OCID as well. Remember that the tenancy OCID is also the OCID of the root compartment.

*nix

If your TF configurations are limited to a single compartment/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=
export TF_VAR_user_ocid=
export TF_VAR_compartment_ocid=<The tenancy OCID can be used as the compartment OCID of your root compartment>
export TF_VAR_fingerprint=
export TF_VAR_private_key_path=<fully qualified path>

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_user_ocid <value>
setx TF_VAR_compartment_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.

You should always plan, then apply a configuration -

# From the vcn directory

# 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
