Announcing Terraform providers for Oracle Database@Google Cloud

Many organizations use Terraform to manage their cloud deployments through Infrastructure as Code. Today we are excited to share the general availability of Terraform providers for Oracle Database@Google Cloud. You can now deploy and manage Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service resources using the Google Terraform provider. The release compliments the existing gcloud and Google Cloud console capabilities that we released with Oracle Database@Google Cloud at launch.

Provision Autonomous Database with Terraform

Creating an Oracle Autonomous Database on Google Cloud is as simple as defining a google_oracle_database_autonomous_database resource and running terraform init and terraform apply. The below code example does the following:

• Collects the details of VPC network where the ADB will be placed

• In this case, we are using an existing VPC named ora-vpc in the GCP project named project1 

• Defines a new ADB named adbtf1 with the following attributes

• ID and display name of adbtf1

• Region of us-east4

• Project project1

• The admin password has been obfuscated

• VPC network defined above

• A client CIDR range of 172.16.44.0/25

• An ECPU count of 2

• Allocated storage of 100GB

• Autonomous workload type of OLTP

• License model using Oracle's license-included SKU

Provision with ease using Google Cloud

Working with Terraform is simple on Google Cloud thanks to our native integration in Cloud Shell. Launch Cloud Shell from the Google Cloud console and create Terraform configuration files using our native editor or pull from your company's source code repository. You can even run the terraform command directly in Cloud Shell. You'll be authenticated using your Google Cloud IAM credentials and your resources will be immediately created and synchronized according to the infrastructure as code definitions. You can see the console, editor, and Cloud Shell in action below:
