Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Compute Builder

Type: oracle-classic

The oracle-classic Packer builder is able to create custom images for use with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Compute. The builder takes a base image, runs any provisioning necessary on the base image after launching it, and finally snapshots it creating a reusable custom image.

It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the Key Concepts and Terminology prior to using this builder if you have not done so already.

The builder does not manage images. Once it creates an image, it is up to you to use it or delete it.

Authorization

This builder authenticates API calls to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Compute using basic authentication (user name and password). To read more, see the authentication documentation

Configuration Reference

There are many configuration options available for the oracle-classic builder. This builder currently only works with the SSH communicator.

Required

api_endpoint (string) - This is your custom API endpoint for sending requests. Instructions for determining your API endpoint can be found here
dest_image_list (string) - Where to save the machine image to once you've provisioned it. If the provided image list does not exist, Packer will create it.
identity_domain (string) - This is your customer-specific identity domain as generated by Oracle. If you don't know what your identity domain is, ask your account administrator. For a little more information, see the Oracle documentation.
source_image_list (string) - This is what image you want to use as your base image. See the documentation for more details. You may use either a public image list, or a private image list. To see what public image lists are available, you can use the CLI, as described here
password (string) - Your account password.
shape (string) - The template that determines the number of CPUs, amount of memory, and other resources allocated to a newly created instance. For more information about shapes, see the documentation here.
username (string) - Your account username.

Optional

image_description (string) - a description for your destination image list. If you don't provide one, Packer will provide a generic description.
ssh_username (string) - The username that Packer will use to SSH into the instance; defaults to opc, the default oracle user, which has sudo priveliges. If you have already configured users on your machine, you may prompt Packer to use one of those instead. For more detail, see the documentation.
image_name (string) - The name to assign to the resulting custom image.

Basic Example

Here is a basic example. Note that account specific configuration has been obfuscated; you will need to add a working username, password, identity_domain, and api_endpoint in order for the example to work.
