Configuring Template Storage

Specify the location in which Oracle Cloud Stack stores your template files.

The Template Builder in the Oracle Cloud Stack console saves your unpublished templates to a storage container in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic.

Oracle Cloud Stack can create a storage container for you, or you can use an existing one. To create a storage container without using Oracle Cloud Stack, see Creating Containers in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Stack console and navigate to the Templates page.
  2. Click Unpublished.
  3. Click Configure cloud storage Gear icon.

    Note:

    If this is the first time anyone in this cloud account has accessed this page, you do not need to click Configure cloud storage. The Cloud Storage Credentials dialog is displayed automatically.
  4. For Cloud Storage Container, enter the URL for an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage container.

    Format: rest_endpoint_url/containerName

    The default container name is stackTemplates.

    See Finding the REST Endpoint URL for Your Service Instance in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic.

  5. Optional: If you select the option Create a new container, Oracle Cloud Stack will create the specified container if it doesn’t already exist.
  6. For Username and Password, enter the credentials of an Oracle Cloud user who has write access to the specified storage container.
    If you selected Create a new container, then this user must have the Storage Administrator role.
  7. Click Apply Changes.

If you change the storage location at a later time, Oracle Cloud Stack will not automatically move your template files from the previous container. To move or copy files between containers, see Typical Workflow for Managing Objects in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic.
