\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This assume you have already configured the OCI cli and added your key to the user inside the OCI interface so your Ubuntu or Jump box can connect to your OCI infrastructure<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u25e6<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>You will need to install the ansible oci collections<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now the reason why you would probably want this is over terraform is because terraform is more suited for infrastructure orchestration and not really suited to deal with the instances once they are up and running.<\/p>\n

If you have scaled servers out in OCI powering servers up and down in bulk currently is not available. If you are doing a migration or using a staging environment that you need need to use the machine when building or doing troubleshooting.<\/p>\n

Then having a way to power up\/down multiple machines at once is convenient.<\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Install the OCI collections if you don\u2019t have it already.<\/p>\n

Once you have it installed you need to test the OCI client is working<\/p>\n

oci iam compartment list \u2013all (this will list out the compartment ID list for your instances.<\/p>\n

Compartments in OCI are a way to organise infrastructure and control access to those resources. This is great for if you have contractors coming and you only want them to have access to certain things not everything.<\/p>\n

Now there are two ways you can your instance names.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>One logging in via the OCI interface and going the correct compartment, which is very slow and mind numbing to wait for.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Or you can use automated approaches which is what you should be doing with everything you do that needs to be done over and over.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This will use the OCI CLI and provide all instances name and ips<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It loops through each availability domain.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for each availability domain, it lists the instance IDs and writes them to instance_ids.txt.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It cleans up the instance_ids.txt file to remove brackets, quotes, and commas.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u2022<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>It extracts the display name, public IP, and private IP, and prints them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
