Creating a Roving Edge Infrastructure in OCI

Create a Compute Cloud@Customer infrastructure in your home tenancy in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Each Roving Edge device must have a corresponding infrastructure resource before the device can be set up.

A Roving Edge device runs the same controller software as Compute Cloud@Customer. During device installation and configuration, a connection to OCI is established to associate the device with the Compute Cloud@Customer infrastructure resource configured in your home tenancy.

Before creating an infrastructure, ensure that the following tenancy setup is configured as described in Preparing Your Tenancy.

  • A compartment is set up to host the infrastructure definitions.
  • A VCN and subnet are set up as required by the infrastructure.
  • IAM policies are set up to provide appropriate user and resource access to the infrastructure compartment.
  • To create an infrastructure, follow these steps:
    1. In the Oracle Cloud Console, open the navigation menu, select Hybrid & Multicloud, then select Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer.
    2. Select the compartment that you want to create the infrastructure in.
    3. Select Create infrastructure.
    4. Define the following infrastructure parameters. Avoid entering confidential information.
      • Display name: The name shown when listing infrastructures in the Oracle Cloud Console. This name must match the System Name supplied to Oracle.
      • Description: (Optional) Information about the infrastructure to distinguish it from others.
      • Compartment: The compartment that you want to create the infrastructure in.
      • Networking: The VCN and subnet for this infrastructure. This value can't be edited later.

      • Upgrade schedule: Currently not supported for Roving Edge devices.

    5. (Optional) To add tags to the infrastructure, select Show advanced options.
      If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags.
    6. Select Create infrastructure.
      The infrastructure resource is now in Active lifecycle state. Its connection state displays Reject, and will be updated when the Roving Edge device establishes a connection to OCI.

  • Use the ccc infrastructure create command and required parameters to create an infrastructure:

    oci ccc infrastructure create --compartment-id <compartment ocid> --display-name <Descriptive name> --subnet-id <subnet to connect infrastructure to>... [OPTIONS]
