Provide Oracle Utilities with Access to Object Storage

Oracle Utilities needs read and write access to your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) object storage in order to retrieve files as well as deliver files to you. Oracle Utilities will provide you with a public key for this step. When this task is complete, Oracle Utilities can perform data load tasks for you, such as delivering AMI data to your object storage for analysis and custom data science use cases.

  1. Optional. Create a compartment for organizing resources. See Create a Compartment.
  2. Create a bucket in your object storage. See Creating an Object Storage Bucket.
  3. Add a policy for users to access objects within the bucket. See Securing Object Storage. Apply the following policy to allow the group access to the bucket:
    Allow group DOMAIN/GROUP to manage objects in compartment COMPARTMENT_NAME where target.bucket.name='BUCKET_NAME'
  4. Open and submit a service request in My Oracle Support and request a public key from Oracle Energy and Water. Oracle Energy and Water will respond and send a public key.
  5. Sign in to the OCI console. See Signing in to the OCI Console.
  6. Click My Profile at the top-right corner.
  7. Under Resources at the bottom left of the screen, select API Keys and click Add API Key. The Add API Key dialog is displayed.
  8. Select Paste a public key or Choose public key file to add the public key shared by Oracle Utilities. A Configuration file preview dialog displays.
  9. Note the user, tenancy, and region details that display in the preview.
  10. Copy the user, tenancy, and region details from the preview and share them with Oracle Utilities in the service request you opened requesting the public key.

Note:

Once access to your object storage is set up, Oracle Utilities will coordinate with you regarding any initial or incremental data load tasks that are necessary. Oracle Utilities will then notify you when these tasks are complete so that you can proceed with the step to enable the Global Bundle Repository. Wait for confirmation from Oracle Utilities that you have completed any required data load tasks before you proceed.
