So a while back OCI got NSGs (Network Security Groups) but most what I still see with implementations is that people tend to use Security Lists. Remember Security Lists are applied on subnet level while NSGs are applied to VNICs. I recently got following dilemma on tenancy created a while back. Challenge All the subnets…
Create multiple compartments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with Terraform module
This time I wanted to show how simple it is to create multiple compartments with one module using Terraform 0.12. Compartments in OCI are way to separate your resources and control access on them, you can also move resources around from one compartment to another if needed. Remember one of the reasons one would like…

OGB Appreciation Day: OCI Compartments
Oracle Groundbreaker’s Appreciation day time. Read more about from here! I’m a fan of looking “dull” features of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and thought Compartments would fit right into it on #ThanksOGB day.

Create three instances with Terraform 0.12 and dynamic modules in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
I have an old post how to create three instances in OCI with modules using Terraform 0.11 but since 0.12 came out I’ve been wanting to rewrite it to show what we can achieve with new features introduced in TF 0.12. In this post I will once again create those instances but now the modules…

Configuring OCI Email Delivery with OCI Exadata to send emails

OCI Events Service – perform actions when events happen in your services
Oracle Events Service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure came available in OCI Console recently, I was part of the limited availability program but couldn’t test it as much as I wanted since the service was only available on certain US region where we didn’t have any use at that point in time. However right now it…
Rewriting Terraform security list configuration in OCI with Terraform 0.12
I’ve been a big fan of Terraform for quite some time but one of the things I have been complaining about has been some things which have not been possible when you use Terraform modules. Why do we use modules? It gives us a way to reuse our code so that each resource creation is…
