Create Dynamic Groups

You create dynamic groups of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure compute instances, and associate them with policies. You must provide a unique, unchangeable name for the dynamic group. Oracle assigns a unique Oracle Cloud ID (OCID).

The following steps are for OCI tenancies that use Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) for identity management.

If you are starting a new cloud deployment on an OCI tenancy with IAM instead of IDCS, Oracle recommends creating a unique identity domain for Essbase instead of using the default identity domain. Create the dynamic group within this domain. In this dynamic group, set up the same rules as described below for IDCS.

If you are not sure which identity management is used on your tenancy, refer to Documentation to Use for Cloud Identity.

  1. On the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, navigate to the left icon under the Governance and Administration section, click Identity, and then click Dynamic Groups.
  2. Click Create Dynamic Group.
  3. Enter a name for the dynamic group. Record the name for future use.
  4. Enter a description (optional).
  5. In the Matching Rules section, click Launch Rule Builder to define the rule.
  6. In Add instances that match the following rules. Rules to consider for match, select the option Any of the following rules, allows the dynamic group broad access if you have multiple rules. The other option, All of the following rules, enables the dynamic group to service specific compartment/instance combinations when multiple rules are specified.
  7. In the Create Matching Rule dialog, select a resource. In ATTRIBUTE field, select the option Match Instances in Compartment ID. For the VALUE field, paste the compartment ID you noted for the compartment in which you're creating the Essbase stack. With this option, any instances in the compartment will work using this dynamic group. The other option, Match instances with ID, specifies matching just one instance ID.
  8. Click Add Rule.
  9. You can enter tags (optional) to organize and track resources in your tenancy.
  10. Click Create Dynamic Group.
