Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

Practices Part 1: Explore Always Free Cloud Account Resources 13

 HOME REGION
When you sign up for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Oracle creates a tenancy for you in one
of the available regions. This is your home region. Your home region is where your IAM
resources are defined. For more information about the home region, see The Home
Region.

NAME
Your tenancy names. Your tenancy name is typically chosen when you set up your Oracle
Cloud account.

CSI NUMBER
Your Customer Service Identifier for Oracle Support

AUDIT RETENTION PERIOD

The retention period for the Audit service logs. The value of the retention period setting
affects all regions and all compartments for this tenancy. You can't set different retention
periods for different regions or compartments. For more information about this setting, see
Setting Audit Log Retention Period.

OBJECT STORAGE DESIGNATED COMPARTMENTS AND NAMESPACE

The Object Storage service provides API support for both Amazon S3 Compatibility API
and Swift API. By default, buckets created using the Amazon S3 Compatibility API or the
Swift API are created in the root compartment of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenancy.
You can designate a different compartment for the Amazon S3 Compatibility API or Swift
API to create buckets in. For more information, see Designating Compartments for the
Amazon S3 Compatibility and Swift APIs.
For information about your Object Storage namespace, see Understanding Object Storage
Namespaces.

Practices Part 2: Creating Core Infrastructure Resources 23

Practices Part 2-2: Launching the Cloud Shell

Overview
In this practice you will launch the Cloud Shell session for the OCI user account assigned to you
in preparation for the upcoming practices.

Cloud Shell
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Cloud Shell is a web browser‒based terminal accessible from
the Oracle Cloud Console. Cloud Shell is free to use (within monthly tenancy limits), and
provides access to a Linux shell, with a pre-authenticated OCI CLI and other useful tools.

It provides:
 An ephemeral machine to use as a host for a Linux shell, preconfigured with the latest
version of the OCI CLI and several useful tools
 5 GB of storage for your home directory
 A persistent frame of the Console that stays active as you navigate to different pages
of the console

Note
 The OCI CLI will execute commands against the region selected in the Console's
Region selection menu when the Cloud Shell was started. Changing the region
selection in the console will not change the region for existing Cloud Shell instances;
you will need to open a new Cloud Shell instance to change regions.
 Cloud Shell sessions have a maximum length of 24 hours, and time out after 20
minutes of inactivity. However this should not impact this practice.

Prerequisites

Create the following policy in the root compartment as the ocilabs-user:

allow group ocilabs-group to use cloud-shell in tenancy

Tasks
1. Log in to OCI Web Console using your assigned Oracle Cloud account as described in the
previous practices.
2. Click the Cloud Shell icon in the OCI Console header, highlighted in the below screenshot.

Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

24 Practices Part 2: Creating Core Infrastructure Resources

3. This will launch the Cloud Shell in a “drawer” at the bottom of the console. Once it is ready
you will see the terminal as shown below:

4. You can use the icons in the upper-right corner of the Cloud Shell window to minimize,
maximize, restart, and close your Cloud Shell session.
5. For clipboard operations:
 Windows users can use Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert to copy, and Shift + Insert to paste.
 For Mac OS users, use Cmd + C to copy and Cmd + V to paste.
 However the practices in this course assumes you are working on a Windows-based
local system.
To get started with Cloud Shell, you can run the following OCI CLI command. Your Cloud
Shell comes with the OCI CLI pre-authenticated, so there’s no setup to do before you can
start using it.
6. This command will display the name space of your OCI Tenant.

ocilabs_us@cloudshell:~ (ap-mumbai-1)$ oci os ns get

{
"data": "bm6rwnfgnfbj"
}
This completes the task of launching Cloud Shell. Keep this session active for the next
practice.

Copyright © 2020, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

Practices Part 2: Creating Core Infrastructure Resources 25

Practices Part 2-3: Generating SSH Keys

Overview
Instances use an SSH key pair instead of a password to authenticate a remote user. A key pair
file contains a private key and public key. You keep the private key on your computer and
provide the public key every time you launch an instance. In this practice you will generate SSH
keys to be used later while launching an instance.

Tasks
1. Launch the Cloud Shell session as described in the previous practice.
2. Execute the following commands to generate ssh-keys, which will be used to create a
Compute instance. As long as an id_rsa and id_rsa.pub key pair is present, they can be
reused. By default these are stored in ~/.ssh/ directly.
ocilabs_us@cloudshell:~ (ap-mumbai-1)$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key
(/home/ocilabs_us/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/home/ocilabs_us/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in
/home/ocilabs_us/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in
/home/ocilabs_us/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:zxQogNbEvQJIAbJb+3x1r8QEJN8ZWlUYHHyZge5lZ10
ocilabs_us@804708cc8ef6
The key's randomart image is:
+---[RSA 2048]----+
|=+.=o.. . o++*o+ |
|o.+ o..+ = o= + E|

26 Practices Part 2: Creating Core Infrastructure Resources

3. Make sure permissions are restricted, as sometimes ssh fails if private keys have
permissive file permissions.
ocilabs_us@cloudshell:~ (ap-mumbai-1)$ chmod 0700 ~/.ssh
ocilabs_us@cloudshell:~ (ap-mumbai-1)$ chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ocilabs_us@cloudshell:~ (ap-mumbai-1)$ chmod 0644

-rw-r--r--. 1 ocilabs_us oci 405 Jun 20 17:10 id_rsa.pub

4. Copy the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on a notepad. This is your ssh key to connect to the
instances.

ocilabs_us@cloudshell:~ (ap-mumbai-1)$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

28 Practices Part 2: Creating Core Infrastructure Resources

4. Finally click Create, to create the Compute instance.
5. Once the instance state changes to Running, you can SSH to the Public IP address of the
instance. To do this, make a note of the Public IP address that gets assigned to the
BastionHost.
6. You will use Cloud Shell to connect to the Compute instance. Bring up the minimized
Cloud Shell terminal, or launch it again and enter the following command. Enter Yes when
prompted to continue connecting.

$ ssh opc@<Public_IP_of_Compute>

Note: In general, for OCI Linux‒based compute instances, the default username is opc.
Once successfully connected you can see the change in the command prompt to ensure
you are now logged in to your ‘BastionHost’ Compute instance. Follow these instructions
whenever you need to connect to your BastionHost.

This completes the task of creating a Compute instance.
