Oracle Cloud Data Source
This data source establishes a connection to Oracle Cloud for extracting data.
Connection configuration
For the connection this Data Source needs the following input:
- User OCID - Your Oracle Cloud user identifier
- Private Key - The private key for authentication
- Fingerprint - The fingerprint of your key
- Tenancy OCID - Your tenancy identifier
- Compartment ID - The compartment to access
- Passphrase - The passphrase for your private key (if applicable)
- Region - The Oracle Cloud region
Oracle offers a help page regarding the necessary credentials for an external connection. If your cloud infrastructure is distributed across several regions, an Oracle Data Source must be added for each region.
Importable types
The Oracle importer uses a fixed schema with the following asset types and link types:
Asset types
| Asset Type | Description |
|---|---|
| INSTANCE | Instances: virtual machines which have been created in the given region. In addition it is possible to choose "only running", if you do, only the virtual machines which are actually running at the given moment will be imported. |
| IMAGE | Images in the given region. |
| VNIC | VNICs in the given region. A VNIC is a virtualized Network Interface Card, used by a Virtual Machine as its network interface. |
| BOOT_VOLUME_ATTACHMENT | Boot Volumes in the given region. When launching an instance, a new boot volume for the instance is created in the same compartment. That boot volume is associated with that instance until you terminate the instance. When you terminate the instance, you can preserve the boot volume and its data. |
| VOLUME_ATTACHMENT | Volumes in the given region. A volume attachment is a detachable block storage device that allows you to dynamically expand the storage capacity of an instance. |
Link types
| Link Type | Description |
|---|---|
| INSTANCE_CREATED_BY_IMAGE | Associations between instances and images will be established: which instance was created by which image? |
| INSTANCE_TO_VNIC | Associations between instances and VNICs will be established: which VNIC is used by which Virtual Machine? |
| INSTANCE_TO_VOLUME_ATTACHMENT | Associations between instances and volumes will be established: which volume is attached to which Virtual Machine? |
| INSTANCE_TO_BOOT_VOLUME_ATTACHMENT | Associations between instances and boot volumes will be established: which boot volume was created by launching which Virtual Machine? |
| IMAGE_CREATED_BY_IMAGE | Associations between images and images will be established: which image was created by which image? |
Creating importers
After configuring the data source, you can create auto-configured importers to bring data from Oracle Cloud into Txture.
