The first release of the OCI Gradle Plugin is out! The plugin lets you interact with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Java SDK. The behavior provided by OCI Java SDK is quite extensive, thus for this release the plugin delivers the minimal features required to setup and work with instances. Here's an example, the following command will setup an Instance in a particular Compartment, while at the same time setting up a new VCN, Subnets, an InternetGateway and an InstanceConsoleConnection, allowing you to SSH to the freshly created instance

$ ./gradlew setupInstance \
  --compartment-id=ocid1.compartment.oc1...noa \
  --instance-name=test \
  --image=Oracle-Linux-7.6-2019.04.18-0 \
  --shape=VM.Standard2.1 \
  --public-key-file=/Users/aalmiray/.oci/oci-key.pub \
  --user-data-file=/Users/aalmiray/oci/examples/basic/cloud-init.sh

Ids have been obfuscated for this example. This particular example sets up OpenJDK on the target instance by means of the cloud-init.sh script that's passed as part of the initialization data, this file looks like this

#!/bin/bash

# install Java
yum install -y yum java-1.8.0-openjdk

# amend firewall rules to allow port 8080
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
