Create Child instance Compartment to contain my instance and take the ocid to be used as a compartment_ocid

Get the image_ocid from this link, I used the Canonical-Ubuntu-22.04-Minimal-2022.08.16-0 image.

create the OCI provider in the specific region

provider "oci" {
  region           = var.region
  user_ocid        = "..."
  fingerprint      = "..."
  private_key_path = "/home/mahmoud/.oci/oci_api_key.pem"
  tenancy_ocid     = "..."
}
  • Run terraform initialize to install OCI Plugin
$ terraform init
  • Run terraform apply to create my resources on the OCI cloud
$ terraform apply --var-file dev.tfvars

That is the running instance
