Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Firefly integrates with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to pull in information about your cloud resources—such as compute instances, object storage, databases etc. Directly into your Firefly Inventory. This enables you to view, manage, and govern OCI assets. You can use Firefly to enforce infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices and apply policies across your OCI environment, helping ensure compliance, visibility, and best practices at scale.

Best Practices

  1. For governance, mark certain compartments as production during integration (Firefly has a "Mark as Production" checkbox for each integration which you should tick for your production accounts).

Integration Methods

  • ORM Stack Creates a user with read access to your OCI resources.

Using ORM Stack

ORM Stack (Oracle Resource Manager) is the recommended method for OCI integration as it provides automated deployment through the OCI Console.

Note: The ORM stack should be deployed in your tenancy's home region.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure you have appropriate permissions in OCI to deploy ORM stacks.

  • Access to the OCI Console.

  • Proper access to the compartments or tenancy you want to integrate.

Setup Procedure

  1. In Firefly, go to Settings > Integrations.

  2. Select Add New > OCI.

  3. Generate a Firefly API Key by clicking Generate API Key in Firefly.

  4. Copy the generated key and paste it into the OCI Stack configuration as instructed.

  5. (Optional) Select Mark as Production if you want the integration to be flagged as production in Firefly.

  6. (Optional) Select Deploy to subscribed regions to scan all subscribed regions, or uncheck to specify regions.

  7. Click Deploy to OCI to open the OCI Stack in the OCI Portal, and follow the instructions to deploy the stack.

  8. Complete the stack deployment in the OCI Console.

  9. Firefly will wait for the initiation of the connection and finish the integration process.

OCI Discovery Status

To scan your integration for changes and discover new assets on-demand:

Procedure

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > OCI.

  2. Find the integration you want to scan.

  3. For assets changes, on the integration menu, select Scan Assets.

  4. For IaC stacks changes, on the integration menu, select Scan Stacks.

  5. View changes in the Inventory and/or IaC Explorer after several minutes.
