It uses example values for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure credentials, tenancy, and compartments. When completing your lab, substitute these values with ones specific to your cloud environment.

Deploy Infrastructure using Terraform

Introduction

In this tutorial we will use pre-configured terraform scripts to deploy VCN, Subnet and Compute Instance. We will then delete all these infrastructure resources.

Estimated time: 30 minutes

Key points

We recommend using Chrome or Edge as the browser.
You will be asked to record some information during this workshop. We recommend that you paste the information into a text file when prompted.

Prerequisites

Task 1: Access OCI Cloud Shell

From the OCI Console, click Cloud Shell to launch a cloud shell session.

Note: Ensure that the correct Compartment is selected under COMPARTMENT list.
Click the Profile icon, then click your tenancy. Click Copy and record your tenancy OCID for later use.
Click your region, then click Manage Regions. Copy your region identifier and record it for later use.
Click Identity & Security in the navigation menu, then click Compartments.

Click Copy and record your compartment OCID for later use.

Task 2: Configure Terraform

From the cloud shell use this command to download the Terraform sample code:

curl https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/p/W7d4rKt71E8pOkTyB1ca5lbuerxDcyL0ZjuIMIRQ15-i-JW7KJOC6TMKSnD-_bZO/n/ociobenablement/b/lab/o/terraform_demo.zip -o terraform-demo.zip

Unzip the sample file using this command:
```
unzip terraform-demo.zip
```
Open the terraform.tfvars file using these commands:
```
cd terraform_demo
```
```
vi terraform.tfvars
```
Enter i to update the - tenancy_ocid, region, compartment_ocid variables with the values you recorded in the Access the OCI Shell task.
Enter :wq! to save the file and exit.
Initialize terraform using this command:
```
terraform init
```
A successful initialization message is returned:
View the deployment plan of what will be configured in OCI using this command:
```
terraform plan
```
Apply the plan to create the infrastructure using this command:
```
terraform apply
```
Note: Enter ‘yes’ when prompted.

The script takes some time to execute. You can switch to the OCI console and observe the creation of the VCN, Compute instance. You will see below messege when apply is completed.
When done, destroy the infrastructure that you created using this command:
```
terraform destroy
```
Note: Enter ‘yes’ when prompted.

You can switch to the OCI console and observe deletion of VCN, Compute instance. You will see below messege when destroy is completed.
