Synopsis

  • Perform actions on an InstanceConfiguration resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For action=change_compartment, moves an instance configuration into a different compartment within the same tenancy. For information about moving resources between compartments, see Moving Resources to a Different Compartment. When you move an instance configuration to a different compartment, associated resources such as instance pools are not moved. Important: Most of the properties for an existing instance configuration, including the compartment, cannot be modified after you create the instance configuration. Although you can move an instance configuration to a different compartment, you will not be able to use the instance configuration to manage instance pools in the new compartment. If you want to update an instance configuration to point to a different compartment, you should instead create a new instance configuration in the target compartment using CreateInstanceConfiguration.

  • For action=launch, creates an instance from an instance configuration. If the instance configuration does not include all of the parameters that are required to create an instance, such as the availability domain and subnet ID, you must provide these parameters when you create an instance from the instance configuration. For more information, see the InstanceConfiguration resource.

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; however, you should 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, you should use the following iSCSI IP address: 169.254.0.2, and boot volume IQN: iqn.2015-02.oracle.boot.
For more information about the Bring Your Own Image feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, see Bring Your Own Image.

* 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.

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.

ipxe_script
string
on success
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.

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, you should use the following iSCSI IP address: 169.254.0.2, and boot volume IQN: iqn.2015-02.oracle.boot.
For more information about the Bring Your Own Image feature of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, see Bring Your Own Image.

* 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.

boolean
on success
Whether symmetric multithreading is enabled on the instance. Symmetric multithreading is also called simultaneous multithreading (SMT) or Intel Hyper-Threading.
Intel and AMD processors have two hardware execution threads per core (OCPU). SMT permits multiple independent threads of execution, to better use the resources and increase the efficiency of the CPU. When multithreading is disabled, only one thread is permitted to run on each core, which can provide higher or more predictable performance for some workloads.

percentage_of_cores_enabled
integer
on success
The percentage of cores enabled. Value must be a multiple of 25%. If the requested percentage results in a fractional number of cores, the system rounds up the number of cores across processors and provisions an instance with a whole number of cores.
If the applications that you run on the instance use a core-based licensing model and need fewer cores than the full size of the shape, you can disable cores to reduce your licensing costs. The instance itself is billed for the full shape, regardless of whether all cores are enabled.
