Create and Deploy on OCI using Resource Manager

OCI Resource Manager automates the process of provisioning your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources. The Resource Manager provides stacks to set up OCI resources that runs the virtual SBC using Terraform scripts. However, Terraform scripts cannot be used for complete SBC configuration. Hence, Resource Manager uses two pre-build stacks for deploying environments. The two stacks are - VCN and SBC stack. The VCN stack creates the required network infrastructure to deploy the virtual SBC instance on OCI. The SBC stack instantiates a standalone or HA pair on OCI with all Day-0 configuration, for example: loading product type and entitlements, configuring cores, setting up HA configuration, SNMP etc.

Workflows that can be automated with Stacks include creating:

  • Virtual Cloud Network
  • Internet Gateway
  • Route Tables
  • Security Lists or Network Security Groups for Management Interface, Media Interface and HA
  • Subnets
  • VNIC and assigning to SBC instance
  • Setting up interface mapping
  • Setting SNMP and NTP configuration
  • Setting HA configuration

Prerequisites for creating VCN and SBC stacks

  • The minimum supported version of the Terraform is 0.13.
