Editing a Firewall Policy Can Cause a Connection Reset in Certain Circumstances

Details
When you make the following changes to a firewall, the update causes a connection reset in the firewall:
  • Updating mapped secret information in a policy attached to a firewall.
  • Changing the firewall policy to one that uses different mapped secret information than the old policy.

Editing other types of information in the attached policy besides mapped secrets will not result in a connection reset.

Terraform Times Out Firewall Creation

Details

When the firewall creation task exceeds 30 to 35 minutes, Terraform times out before it completes due to the Terraform refreshing state.

Workaround
To avoid the timeout, set the timeout to 35 minutes + buffer time for the Terraform state refresh at the oci_network_firewall_network_firewall resource level.
