Creating a Quick-Create Link for a Stack
Use a quick-create link to get a Resource Manager stack up and running quickly from the Oracle Cloud Console.
You can specify the configuration location and variable overrides in URL query parameters to prepopulate a single Create Stack page. A quick-create link simplifies the process of creating stacks. The link reduces the number of workflow pages and requires less user input. These links optimize configuration reuse because you can create multiple URLs that specify different values for the same Terraform configuration.
