Synopsis

  • This module allows the user to create, update and delete an Instance resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For state=present, creates a new instance in the specified compartment and the specified availability domain. For general information about instances, see Overview of the Compute Service.

  • For information about access control and compartments, see Overview of the IAM Service.

  • For information about availability domains, see Regions and Availability Domains. To get a list of availability domains, use the ListAvailabilityDomains operation in the Identity and Access Management Service API.

  • All Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources, including instances, get an Oracle-assigned, unique ID called an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID). When you create a resource, you can find its OCID in the response. You can also retrieve a resource’s OCID by using a List API operation on that resource type, or by viewing the resource in the Console.

  • To launch an instance using an image or a boot volume use the sourceDetails parameter in LaunchInstanceDetails.

  • When you launch an instance, it is automatically attached to a virtual network interface card (VNIC), called the primary VNIC. The VNIC has a private IP address from the subnet’s CIDR. You can either assign a private IP address of your choice or let Oracle automatically assign one. You can choose whether the instance has a public IP address. To retrieve the addresses, use the ListVnicAttachments operation to get the VNIC ID for the instance, and then call GetVnic with the VNIC ID.

  • You can later add secondary VNICs to an instance. For more information, see L(Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs),https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/Network/Tasks/managingVNICs.htm).

  • To launch an instance from a Marketplace image listing, you must provide the image ID of the listing resource version that you want, but you also must subscribe to the listing before you try to launch the instance. To subscribe to the listing, use the GetAppCatalogListingAgreements operation to get the signature for the terms of use agreement for the desired listing resource version. Then, call CreateAppCatalogSubscription with the signature. To get the image ID for the LaunchInstance operation, call GetAppCatalogListingResourceVersion.

  • This resource has the following action operations in the oracle.oci.oci_compute_instance_actions module: stop, start, softreset, reset, softstop, senddiagnosticinterrupt, diagnosticreboot, rebootmigrate.

If you specify a `hostnameLabel`, then `assignPrivateDnsRecord` must be set to true.
assign_public_ip
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether the VNIC should be assigned a public IP address. Defaults to whether the subnet is public or private. If not set and the VNIC is being created in a private subnet (that is, where `prohibitPublicIpOnVnic` = true in the Subnet), then no public IP address is assigned. If not set and the subnet is public (`prohibitPublicIpOnVnic` = false), then a public IP address is assigned. If set to true and `prohibitPublicIpOnVnic` = true, an error is returned.
**Note:** This public IP address is associated with the primary private IP on the VNIC. For more information, see IP Addresses.
**Note:** There's a limit to the number of public IPs a VNIC or instance can have. If you try to create a secondary VNIC with an assigned public IP for an instance that has already reached its public IP limit, an error is returned. For information about the public IP limits, see Public IP Addresses.
Example: `false`
If you specify a `vlanId`, then `assignPublicIp` must be set to false. See Vlan.
defined_tags
dictionary
Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.
Example: `{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}`
display_name
string
A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.

aliases: name
freeform_tags
dictionary
Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.
Example: `{"Department": "Finance"}`
hostname_label
string
The hostname for the VNIC's primary private IP. Used for DNS. The value is the hostname portion of the primary private IP's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) (for example, `bminstance1` in FQDN `bminstance1.subnet123.vcn1.oraclevcn.com`). Must be unique across all VNICs in the subnet and comply with RFC 952 and RFC 1123. The value appears in the Vnic object and also the PrivateIp object returned by ListPrivateIps and GetPrivateIp.
For more information, see DNS in Your Virtual Cloud Network.
When launching an instance, use this `hostnameLabel` instead of the deprecated `hostnameLabel` in LaunchInstanceDetails. If you provide both, the values must match.
Example: `bminstance1`
If you specify a `vlanId`, the `hostnameLabel` cannot be specified. VNICs on a VLAN can not be assigned a hostname. See Vlan.
nsg_ids
list / elements=string
A list of the OCIDs of the network security groups (NSGs) to add the VNIC to. For more information about NSGs, see NetworkSecurityGroup.
If a `vlanId` is specified, the `nsgIds` cannot be specified. The `vlanId` indicates that the VNIC will belong to a VLAN instead of a subnet. With VLANs, all VNICs in the VLAN belong to the NSGs that are associated with the VLAN. See Vlan.
private_ip
string
A private IP address of your choice to assign to the VNIC. Must be an available IP address within the subnet's CIDR. If you don't specify a value, Oracle automatically assigns a private IP address from the subnet. This is the VNIC's *primary* private IP address. The value appears in the Vnic object and also the PrivateIp object returned by ListPrivateIps and GetPrivateIp.
If you specify a `vlanId`, the `privateIp` cannot be specified. See Vlan.
Example: `10.0.3.3`
skip_source_dest_check
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether the source/destination check is disabled on the VNIC. Defaults to `false`, which means the check is performed. For information about why you would skip the source/destination check, see Using a Private IP as a Route Target.
If you specify a `vlanId`, the `skipSourceDestCheck` cannot be specified because the source/destination check is always disabled for VNICs in a VLAN. See Vlan.
Example: `true`
subnet_id
string
The OCID of the subnet to create the VNIC in. When launching an instance, use this `subnetId` instead of the deprecated `subnetId` in LaunchInstanceDetails. At least one of them is required; if you provide both, the values must match.
If you are an Oracle Cloud VMware Solution customer and creating a secondary VNIC in a VLAN instead of a subnet, provide a `vlanId` instead of a `subnetId`. If you provide both a `vlanId` and `subnetId`, the request fails.
vlan_id
string
Provide this attribute only if you are an Oracle Cloud VMware Solution customer and creating a secondary VNIC in a VLAN. The value is the OCID of the VLAN. See Vlan.
Provide a `vlanId` instead of a `subnetId`. If you provide both a `vlanId` and `subnetId`, the request fails.
dedicated_vm_host_id
string
The OCID of the dedicated virtual machine host to place the instance on.
defined_tags
dictionary
Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.

This parameter is updatable.
display_name
string
A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it's changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.
Required for create, update, delete when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is set.
This parameter is updatable when OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is not set.

aliases: name
extended_metadata
dictionary
Additional metadata key/value pairs that you provide. They serve the same purpose and functionality as fields in the `metadata` object.
They are distinguished from `metadata` fields in that these can be nested JSON objects (whereas `metadata` fields are string/string maps only).
The combined size of the `metadata` and `extendedMetadata` objects can be a maximum of 32,000 bytes.
This parameter is updatable.
fault_domain
string
A fault domain is a grouping of hardware and infrastructure within an availability domain. Each availability domain contains three fault domains. Fault domains let you distribute your instances so that they are not on the same physical hardware within a single availability domain. A hardware failure or Compute hardware maintenance that affects one fault domain does not affect instances in other fault domains.
If you do not specify the fault domain, the system selects one for you.
To get a list of fault domains, use the ListFaultDomains operation in the Identity and Access Management Service API.
Example: `FAULT-DOMAIN-1`
This parameter is updatable.
force_create
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether to attempt non-idempotent creation of a resource. By default, create resource is an idempotent operation, and doesn't create the resource if it already exists. Setting this option to true, forcefully creates a copy of the resource, even if it already exists.This option is mutually exclusive with key_by.
freeform_tags
dictionary
Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.
Example: `{"Department": "Finance"}`
This parameter is updatable.
hostname_label
string

instance_id
string
The OCID of the instance.
Required for update using state=present when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is not set.
Required for delete using state=absent when environment variable OCI_USE_NAME_AS_IDENTIFIER is not set.

aliases: id
instance_options
dictionary
This parameter is updatable.
are_legacy_imds_endpoints_disabled
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Whether to disable the legacy (/v1) instance metadata service endpoints. Customers who have migrated to /v2 should set this to true for added security. Default is false.
ipxe_script
string
This is an advanced option.
When a bare metal or virtual machine instance boots, the iPXE firmware that runs on the instance is configured to run an iPXE script to continue the boot process.
If you want more control over the boot process, you can provide your own custom iPXE script that will run when the instance boots. Be aware that the same iPXE script will run every time an instance boots, not only after the initial LaunchInstance call.
The default iPXE script connects to the instance's local boot volume over iSCSI and performs a network boot. If you use a custom iPXE script and want to network-boot from the instance's local boot volume over iSCSI the same way as the default iPXE script, use the following iSCSI IP address: 169.254.0.2, and boot volume IQN: iqn.2015-02.oracle.boot.
If your instance boot volume type is paravirtualized, the boot volume is attached to the instance through virtio-scsi and no iPXE script is used. If your instance boot volume type is paravirtualized and you use custom iPXE to network boot into your instance, the primary boot volume is attached as a data volume through virtio-scsi drive.
For more information about the Bring Your Own Image feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, see Bring Your Own Image.
For more information about iPXE, see http://ipxe.org.
is_pv_encryption_in_transit_enabled

metadata
dictionary
Custom metadata key/value pairs that you provide, such as the SSH public key required to connect to the instance.
A metadata service runs on every launched instance. The service is an HTTP endpoint listening on 169.254.169.254. You can use the service to:
* Provide information to Cloud-Init to be used for various system initialization tasks.
* Get information about the instance, including the custom metadata that you provide when you launch the instance.
**Providing Cloud-Init Metadata**
You can use the following metadata key names to provide information to Cloud-Init:
**"ssh_authorized_keys"** - Provide one or more public SSH keys to be included in the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file for the default user on the instance. Use a newline character to separate multiple keys. The SSH keys must be in the format necessary for the `authorized_keys` file, as shown in the example below.
**"user_data"** - Provide your own base64-encoded data to be used by Cloud-Init to run custom scripts or provide custom Cloud-Init configuration. For information about how to take advantage of user data, see the Cloud-Init Documentation.
**Metadata Example**
"metadata" : { "quake_bot_level" : "Severe", "ssh_authorized_keys" : "ssh-rsa <your_public_SSH_key>== rsa-key-20160227", "user_data" : "<your_public_SSH_key>==" } **Getting Metadata on the Instance**
To get information about your instance, connect to the instance using SSH and issue any of the following GET requests:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer Oracle" http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer Oracle" http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/metadata/ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer Oracle" http://169.254.169.254/opc/v2/instance/metadata/<any-key-name>
You'll get back a response that includes all the instance information; only the metadata information; or the metadata information for the specified key name, respectively.
The combined size of the `metadata` and `extendedMetadata` objects can be a maximum of 32,000 bytes.
This parameter is updatable.

The number of volume performance units (VPUs) that will be applied to this volume per GB, representing the Block Volume service's elastic performance options. See Block Volume Performance Levels for more information.
Allowed values:
* `10`: Represents Balanced option.
* `20`: Represents Higher Performance option.
* `30`-`120`: Represents the Ultra High Performance option.
For volumes with the auto-tuned performance feature enabled, this is set to the default (minimum) VPUs/GB.
Applicable when source_type is 'image'
image_id
string
The OCID of the image used to boot the instance.
Required when source_type is 'image'
kms_key_id
string
The OCID of the Vault service key to assign as the master encryption key for the boot volume.
Applicable when source_type is 'image'
source_type
string / required
    Choices:
  • image
  • bootVolume
The source type for the instance. Use `image` when specifying the image OCID. Use `bootVolume` when specifying the boot volume OCID.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
The state of the Instance.
Use state=present to create or update an Instance.
Use state=absent to delete an Instance.
subnet_id
string
Deprecated. Instead use `subnetId` in CreateVnicDetails. At least one of them is required; if you provide both, the values must match.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm
time_maintenance_reboot_due
string
For a VM instance, resets the scheduled time that the instance will be reboot migrated for infrastructure maintenance, in the format defined by RFC3339. If the instance hasn't been rebooted after this date, Oracle reboots the instance within 24 hours of the time and date that maintenance is due.
To get the maximum possible date that a maintenance reboot can be extended, use GetInstanceMaintenanceReboot.
Regardless of how the instance is stopped, this flag is reset to empty as soon as the instance reaches the Stopped state.
To reboot migrate a bare metal instance, use the InstanceAction operation.
For more information, see Infrastructure Maintenance.
Example: `2018-05-25T21:10:29.600Z`
This parameter is updatable.
wait
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Whether to wait for create or delete operation to complete.
wait_timeout
integer
Time, in seconds, to wait when wait=yes. Defaults to 1200 for most of the services but some services might have a longer wait timeout.

ipxe_script
string
on success
When a bare metal or virtual machine instance boots, the iPXE firmware that runs on the instance is configured to run an iPXE script to continue the boot process.
If you want more control over the boot process, you can provide your own custom iPXE script that will run when the instance boots. Be aware that the same iPXE script will run every time an instance boots, not only after the initial LaunchInstance call.
The default iPXE script connects to the instance's local boot volume over iSCSI and performs a network boot. If you use a custom iPXE script and want to network-boot from the instance's local boot volume over iSCSI the same way as the default iPXE script, use the following iSCSI IP address: 169.254.0.2, and boot volume IQN: iqn.2015-02.oracle.boot.
If your instance boot volume type is paravirtualized, the boot volume is attached to the instance through virtio-scsi and no iPXE script is used. If your instance boot volume type is paravirtualized and you use custom iPXE to network boot into your instance, the primary boot volume is attached as a data volume through virtio-scsi drive.
For more information about the Bring Your Own Image feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, see Bring Your Own Image.
For more information about iPXE, see http://ipxe.org.
