How to create an OCI bucket using Terraform

#terraform #devops #tutorial #cloud

A simple tutorial to create a bucket in Oracle Cloud using Terraform

1. Set up the OCI Configuration using API Keys

Follow the steps in Setting up the OCI Configuration File using API Keys

2. Install Terraform CLI

On Mac, you can install the CLI using Homebrew: brew install oci-cli

Verify installation using oci -v in the terminal. For other OSes, see Install Terraform.

3. Write the following Terraform code

terraform {
  required_providers {
    oci = {
      source  = "oracle/oci"
      version = ">= 7.0.0"
    }
  }
  required_version = ">=1.12"
}

provider "oci" {
  region              = "us-ashburn-1"
  config_file_profile = "DEFAULT"
}

resource "oci_objectstorage_bucket" "test_bucket" {
  #Required
  compartment_id = "ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaaanwazgsy3nui2mz8wttfh26k7ra6xiazgsy3nui2mz8wttfh26k7ra6"
  name           = "test-bucket"
  namespace      = "idpugazgsy3"
}

More info about the Terraform resource: oci_objectstorage_bucket

We create the OCI bucket in the root tenancy compartment ID. You may get your tenancy ID and the Object storage namespace under your Tenancy details under Profile once logged into cloud.oracle.com.

4. Apply the terraform plan

Run:

terraform init && terraform apply
