The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Quick Start is a collection of examples that allow OCI users to get a quick start deploying advanced infrastructure on OCI.
This terraform automation provisions Floating IP(VIP) emulation on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure(OCI).
The number of cluster nodes is configurable. The automation will evenly distribute the cluster nodes across all the ADs in the target region and across all the fault domains in an AD.
Optionally you'll be able to add a File System Service and mount it as an NFS mount on all the cluster nodes.
All the cluster nodes will have a boot volume and an aditional block volume that will be mounted under a configurable mount point.
All the cluster nodes will be configured with Apache or Nginx, keepalived(for cluster management, using VRRP in unicast mode), python and a custom python script using instance principal authentication. The python script will call the OCI REST API to claim the private/public IP to it's vnic as 2nd IP when it will be invoked by the local keepalived process.
An utility VM will be optionally provisioned into the subnet for VIP testing reasons.
A volume group will be created on each and every AD where cluster nodes were created. To an AD volume group all boot and block volumes of the cluster nodes running on that AD will be added.
The automation will create a regional subnet inside a given(existing) VCN. All the cluster nodes and the FSS mount target will be added to this subnet.
An NSG that contains rules to allow egress to everywhere over any protocol and ingress for VRRP from subnet CIDR, ICMP from subnet CIDR and TCP for ssh(22), http(80) and https(443) from anywhere.
At the subnet level will have a security list for FSS that allows just the VMs exposed to the subnet to mount the NFS mounts FSS is exposing.
A private IP that will have a public IP attached will be created. They both will play the role of a private/public VIP. The private VIP will be attached to the master keepalived node. When the master keepalived node will change, the new master will claim(attach the private/public VIP to its vnic) by calling the custom python script.
It will also provision all the IAM constructs needed by the cluster nodes to make REST API calls to the OCI REST API by using Instance Principals authentication method. The artifacts being provisioned will be:
- a Dynamic Group containing the OCIDs of all the cluster nodes
- Security Policies that will allow the Dynamic Group above to manage VNICs and Private IPs.
This automation is performing the following steps:
- provisioning a subnet inside a given VCN
- configuring the routing tables, network security groups, security lists and DHCP for that subnet
- provisioning a given number of cluster nodes toghether with an optional utility VM.
- provision the Dynamic Group and create the specific Dynamic Group policy to allow the cluster nodes instance principals to run rest API calls for migrating the private IP from one vnic to another
- provisioning a 2nd private IP with an attached public IP. Those will serve as public and private VIPs.
- on each vm creating and mounting a 2nd block volume of a given size and on a given mount point.
- Optionaly, create a file system to act as an NFS Share to be shared and mounted across the cluster nodes. An initial snapshot will be performed against the mount.
- on top of the cluster nodes it is installing and configuring:
- then network alias for the private VIP
- mounting via ISCI the 2nd block volume
- installing/configuring the specified product Apache/Nginx
- installing/configuring keepalived
- installing/configuring the python script that is used by keepalived to float the private/public IP to the new Master node.
The script is invoked by the unicast keepalived mechanism, when a node state is changed from BACKUP to MASTER.
First off we'll need to do some pre deploy setup. That's all detailed here.
A fully-functional example has been provided in the root directory
$ terraform init
$ terraform plan
$ terraform apply -state <your-state-file>.tfstateBellow you can find an example of the input parameters:

#
# 1. Download and install TerraForm (https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html)
# 2. Download and install the OCI TerraForm provider (https://github.com/oracle/terraform-provider-oci/)
# 3. Make sure that you have an OCI API key setup
# See https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm for directions on creating an API signing key
# See https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/Identity/Tasks/managingcredentials.htm on how to manage API keys in the OCI UI or API
# 4. Copy your tenancy OCID below (bottom part of OCI screen, after Tenancy OCID: heading)
# 5. Copy your OCI user account OCID (login to OCI > Identity > Users)
# 6. Copy the required API key fingerprint and private key path (below)
# 7. Fill-in the full path to the SSH public and private keys (this can be used when creating new instances)
# See https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/GSG/Tasks/creatingkeys.htm for directions on how to create this key pair

# Once you've gone through the steps mentioned above, you need to populate your environment variables, by sourcing this file... steps are below:
# 1. Modify this file (so it reflects your OCIDs, etc.)
# 2. $ terraform init
# You only have to do this once after installing or upgrading your TerraForm plugins
# 3. $ terraform plan
# This will show you what TerraForm might do if you applied it
# 4. $ terraform apply

- Currently the automation does not support:
- updating the number of cluster nodes after the initial provisioning. To update the number of cluster nodes you will need to destroy and re-apply.
- changing/updating the installed product(Apache/Nginx) after the initial provisioning. To update the installed product you will need to destroy and re-apply.
