Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides an easy-to-use command line interface named oci<\/code>, with which you can do a lot of administrative tasks. Let’s see in this blog how to create virtual machines in OCI with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up oci-cli<\/code><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are already connected to your OCI tenancy with the command line, you can skip this part. Otherwise, let’s begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to install and configure the oci-cli<\/code> utility. The full list of installation steps is available in the documentation<\/a> and depends on the platform from which you want to administer OCI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On macOS<\/strong>, just run this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

brew install oci-cli<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Some Linux<\/strong> distributions (like OEL 7 or 8) come with the utility already installed. Otherwise, you can run the following command. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
bash -c \"$(curl -L https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/oracle\/oci-cli\/master\/scripts\/install\/install.sh)\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once this is installed, you need the connection information from your OCI account. You can finish the setup either by running the oci setup config<\/code> command, which will ask for all the information needed, or by doing the following if you are not sure about the information required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Log in the OCI interface, and go in your Profile > User settings<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    • In the User settings<\/em><\/strong> tab, click on Tokens and keys<\/strong><\/em>, and Add API key<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      • Here, you have the option to generate a new key pair<\/strong> or to register an existing public key<\/strong>. Make sure to save the private key<\/strong> if you generate a new pair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
          \n
        • After clicking on Add key<\/em><\/strong>, OCI will provide a configuration file that you can use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
            \n
          • Edit this configuration file with the location of your private key and place it at ~\/.oci\/config<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            > cat ~\/.oci\/config\n[DEFAULT]\nuser=<user_ocid>\nfingerprint=<fingerprint>\ntenancy=<tenancy_ocid>\nregion=<your_region>\nkey_file=\/path\/to\/private_key.pem<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
            And that’s it ! To test the connection, run the oci iam region list<\/code> command. It should return a JSON document containing all the available regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            > oci iam region list\n{\n  \"data\": [\n    {\n      \"key\": \"AMS\",\n      \"name\": \"eu-amsterdam-1\"\n    },\n    ...\n    {\n      \"key\": \"ZRH\",\n      \"name\": \"eu-zurich-1\"\n    }\n  ]\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
            Creating your first VM with the oci<\/code> CLI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            An OCI virtual machine is always created within a specific set of cloud components<\/strong>, for which you will have to retrieve the OCIDs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Compartment<\/strong>: it can be the root compartment or any other compartment, but the user defined in the .oci\/config<\/code> file should have access to it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Availability domain<\/strong>: depending on your OCI setup, you will have access to specific availability domains. We’ll see how to retrieve the correct one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Subnet<\/strong>: public subnet in which the VM will be available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Shape<\/strong>: shape of the VM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Image<\/strong>: the OS image used to create the VM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              Retrieve your compartment OCID<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              For the compartment, you can retrieve the list of all compartments with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              > oci iam compartment list --all\n{\n  \"data\": [\n    {\n      \"compartment-id\": \"compartment_ocid\",\n      \"defined-tags\": {\n        \"Oracle-Tags\": {\n          \"CreatedBy\": \"...\",\n          \"CreatedOn\": \"...\"\n        }\n      },\n      \"id\": \"compartment_ocid\",\n      \"inactive-status\": null,\n      \"is-accessible\": null,\n      \"lifecycle-state\": \"ACTIVE\",\n      \"name\": \"compartment_name\",\n      \"time-created\": \"...\"\n    },\n    ...\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
              If you know the name of the compartment you want to retrieve, you can get the OCID with this command. Just replace the compartment_name<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              > oci iam compartment list --compartment-id-in-subtree true -all --query \"data[?name=='compartment_name'].id\" --raw-output\n[\n  \"ocid.compartment...\"\n]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
              Choose an availability domain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              If you don’t know it already, you can easily retrieve the availability domains available with the compartment OCID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              > oci iam availability-domain list --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1... --query 'data[].name' --raw-output\n[\n  \"AlWD:EU-ZURICH-1-AD-1\"\n]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
              Retrieve the subnet OCID<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              In a basic configuration, you should use the OCID of the only public subnet available. Let’s display the subnet names and OCID to help you choose the correct one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              > oci network subnet list --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1... --query \"data[].{name:\\\"display-name\\\", ocid:id}\" --output table\n+--------------------+---------------------+\n| name               | ocid                |\n+--------------------+---------------------+\n| private subnet-vcn | ocid1.subnet.oc1... |\n| public subnet-vcn  | ocid1.subnet.oc1... |\n+--------------------+---------------------+<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
              Select the desired shape<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              You can list the available shapes with the oci compute shape list<\/code> command. Because it contains a lot of useless information for us, we will filter it. Below is a display of all available shapes and whether they are resizable. Indeed, some shapes cannot be resized and come with specific CPU\/memory settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              > oci compute shape list --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1... --query  \"data[].{name:shape,resizable:\\\"is-flexible\\\"}\" --output table\n+------------------------+-----------+\n| name                   | resizable |\n+------------------------+-----------+\n| BM.Standard.E5.192     | False     |\n| BM.Standard.A1.160     | False     |\n| BM.Standard3.64        | False     |\n| BM.Standard2.52        | False     |\n| BM.Optimized3.36       | False     |\n| BM.Standard.E4.128     | False     |\n| BM.Standard.E3.128     | False     |\n| BM.Standard.E2.64      | False     |\n| BM.DenseIO2.52         | False     |\n| VM.Optimized3.Flex     | True      |\n| VM.Standard.E4.Flex    | True      |\n| VM.Standard.E3.Flex    | True      |\n| VM.Standard.A1.Flex    | True      |\n| VM.Standard2.1         | False     |\n| VM.Standard2.2         | False     |\n| VM.Standard2.4         | False     |\n| VM.Standard2.8         | False     |\n| VM.Standard2.16        | False     |\n| VM.Standard2.24        | False     |\n| VM.Standard.E2.1       | False     |\n| VM.Standard.E2.2       | False     |\n| VM.Standard.E2.4       | False     |\n| VM.Standard.E2.8       | False     |\n| VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro | False     |\n| VM.Standard3.Flex      | True      |\n| VM.DenseIO2.8          | False     |\n| VM.DenseIO2.16         | False     |\n| VM.DenseIO2.24         | False     |\n| VM.Standard.E5.Flex    | True      |\n+------------------------+-----------+<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
              Choose a specific image<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              Use the oci compute image list<\/code> command to retrieve the available images inside your compartment. You might already have a name shape in mind, so just find the one you are interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              > oci compute image list --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1... --query --query \"data[].{name:\\\"display-name\\\",ocid:id}\" --all --output table\n+----------------------------------+--------------------+\n| name                             | ocid               |\n+----------------------------------+--------------------+\n| Windows-Server-2025-...          | ocid1.image.oc1... |\n| Oracle-Linux-9.7-2026.01.29-0    | ocid1.image.oc1... |\n| Oracle-Linux-8.10-2026.01.29-0   | ocid1.image.oc1... |\n| CentOS-8-Stream-2024.04.25-0     | ocid1.image.oc1... |\n| custom_image                     | ocid1.image.oc1... |\n+----------------------------------+--------------------+<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
              Build your first virtual machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
              You now have all the necessary information to create your own VM from the CLI ! Combine it together with the following flags, and you’re good to go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • --display-name<\/code>: Name of the virtual machine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • --assign-public-ip<\/code>: Whether to assign a public IP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • --metadata<\/code>: Useful to add an ssh key to the default user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • --shape-config<\/code>: If the shape you selected can be customized, you can select its attributes here, like ocpus<\/code> or memoryInGBs<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                At the end, we have the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                oci compute instance launch \\\n    --compartment-id ocid1.compartment.oc1... \\\n    --availability-domain \"EiFV:EU-ZURICH-1-AD-1\" \\\n    --shape \"VM.Standard.E5.Flex\" \\\n    --shape-config '{\"ocpus\":1,\"memoryInGBs\":4}' \\\n    --subnet-id ocid1.subnet.oc1... \\\n    --image-id ocid1.image.oc1... \\\n    --display-name \"vm_dbi\" \\\n    --assign-public-ip true \\\n    --metadata '{\"ssh_authorized_keys\": \"ssh-rsa ssh_key_content== user@host\"}'<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
                Of course, there are other options that you could use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • --wait-for-state<\/code>: useful if you want to wait for the VM to be RUNNING<\/code> before ending the command. It is very useful in combination with the --query 'data.id'<\/code> option, which will give you the OCID of the newly created VM, that you can then use to retrieve its IP, among other things.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • --user-data-file<\/code>: this is especially useful if you want to add a custom cloud-init.yaml<\/code> file for the VM setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • --boot-volume-size-in-gbs<\/code>: size of the boot volume, in GB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  With this, you have everything you need for a basic VM creation in OCI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
