Create an OCI Compute Instance With Pulumi and Java.

This project uses Java and Pulumi CLI to create a Compute Instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Prerequisites

1. Download and install Pulumi CLI - https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install/
2. If not installed , download and install Java 21 or later - https://jdk.java.net/21/
3. OCI credentials to build the cluster

How to run the project locally

Initialize your local setup by following the steps from prepare.sh script. This script does the following:

• Install pulumi CLI if not already installed

• Create a directory and login (the states of your stack will be saved locally):

  mkdir oci-stack-statefile
  pulumi login file://oci-stack-statefile

• Make a new pulumi stack by running pulumi new https://github.com/ammbra/oci-vm-provider.git. When prompted for project name, use oci-vm-provider and use the default description. Also, please use the stack name oci-vm-provider in order to copy the settings provided. You may choose to enter or keep an empty passphrase when asked.

Now, execute setup.sh script that actually creates the infrastructure.

Finally, preview the stack using pulumi preview.

Configuring credentials

To build your own Compute Instance, you should set its secret configs.

The setup.sh script takes care of this for you 😀 but it asks you for a few details. You can find all of these values by going to the Oracle Cloud Console user interface and clicking the Profile menu and selecting your user (usually your email address). In your profile you have an area named Capabilities, containing a link to a configuration file. Click the link and copy the following values into the setup.sh prompt:

• tenancy to fulfill your tenancy OCID.
• user for your userOcid
• fingerprint to fill in your oci fingerprint
• privateKey associated with the fingerprint
• region where you wish to provision the infrastructure
• compartment_ocid to specify the compartment OCID where you will provision the instance(s).

Your instance will be deployed in a compartment inside OCI, so you should get compartment_ocid. To get one of these ids, use the search provided by the Oracle Cloud Console user interface and type compartment. Press enter, and you will receive all the compartments and associated OCIDs you are have been enabled.

Deploy from local

To run the existing project, you just simply have to run the following command in the terminal window:

pulumi up

Wait for a couple of minutes, and you will have a ready to work with OCI instance. If you want to deploy to another environment, simply create a new stack by running:

pulumi stack

When you are done with your compute instance, you can delete the stack using pulumi destroy:

pulumi destroy
