Creating a Stack from an Existing Compartment

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. On the Stacks list page, select Create stack. If you need help finding the list page or the stack, see Listing Stacks.
  2. On the Create stack page, under Choose the origin of the Terraform configuration, select Existing compartment.
  3. Select the compartment and region that contain the resources that you want to capture.
  4. (Optional) To filter for specific services supported for resource discovery, select Selected and then select the services you want.
     Note
     
     This setting can't be changed when editing the stack later.
  5. (Optional) To use custom providers, select Use custom providers and then select the bucket that contains the custom provider.
  6. (Optional) Edit the default stack name and enter a stack description. Avoid entering confidential information.
  7. Select the compartment where you want to create the stack.
  8. (Optional) Select Show advanced options and assign tags to the stack.
     • Tag namespace: To add a defined tag, select an existing namespace. To add a free-from tag, leave the value blank.
     • Tag key: To add a defined tag, select an existing tag key. To add a free-form tag, type the key name that you want.
     • Tag value: Type the tag value that you want.
     • Add tag: Click to add another tag.
  9. Select Next twice.
     No variables are listed for the Existing compartment stack origin because no Terraform configuration exists yet.
  10. In the Review panel, verify the stack configuration.
  11. Select Create.

  A work request runs on the stack. When the work request finishes, a job runs to generate a Terraform configuration file for the stack. When the job finishes, the resources in the selected compartment are captured in the generated configuration. You can recreate these resources in another compartment.

• Use the oci resource-manager stack create-from-compartment command and required parameters to create a stack from a compartment.

  oci resource-manager stack create-from-compartment --compartment-id <compartment_OCID> --config-source-compartment-id <source_compartment_OCID> --config-source-region <region>

  Example Request

  For example (discovers supported resources from the core and database services; the source compartment is not a root compartment):

  oci resource-manager stack create-from-compartment --config-source-compartment-id ocid1.tenancy.oc1..uniqueid1 --config-source-region PHX --config-source-services-to-discover [core,database] –-compartment-id ocid1.tenancy.oc1..uniqueid2 --terraform-version 0.13.X --display-name "Stack From Compartment ABC" --description "List of Resources to Duplicate"
