Compute

Oracle Cloud integration · 17 node(s).

00Overview

Manage the full lifecycle of Oracle Cloud Compute instances from a flow — launch new instances from an image into a subnet, then start, stop, reboot, rename, retag and terminate them, and read back their state, shape, region and network addresses. Browse the surrounding account too: compartments, availability domains, shapes, images, VCNs, subnets and boot volumes, so a flow can pick the right values before it acts. Keep instances labelled by setting or replacing their freeform tags as automation runs.

Every field below is exactly what you see in the Flomation editor. Fields marked ● live picker let you choose from a list pulled live from your account — no IDs to look up.

01Connecting Compute

Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Console, open the Profile menu (the avatar at the top-right) and choose My profile.
Under Resources, open API keys → Add API key. Let Oracle Cloud generate a key pair and download the private key (a .pem file) — this is the signing key the node uses.
When you add the key, Oracle Cloud shows a Configuration file preview. Copy its values into the node: tenancy → Tenancy OCID, user → User OCID, fingerprint → Key Fingerprint, and region → Region (a plain region key such as uk-london-1).
For the Compartment OCID, open Identity & Security → Compartments and copy the OCID of the compartment whose instances you want to work with.
Store the downloaded private key as a Flomation environment secret (e.g. compute_secret) and select it in the node's Private Key (PEM) field; if the key is passphrase-protected, add the passphrase as a secret too and pick it in Private Key Passphrase.

Field	Type		Details
Region	`string`	Required	e.g. uk-london-1
Private Key (PEM)	`secret`		The API signing private key — full PEM, incl. BEGIN/END lines
Private Key Passphrase	`secret`		Only if the key is encrypted (optional)
Tenancy OCID	`string`	Required	ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaa…
User OCID	`string`	Required	ocid1.user.oc1..aaaa…
Key Fingerprint	`string`	Required	aa:bb:cc:… fingerprint of the uploaded API key

Pick an Environment on your flow (Flow Settings → Environment) so the secret resolves. Secret fields never show the value — they reference ${secrets.your_secret}.

10Notes & Limitations

Behaviours and constraints worth knowing before you build with these nodes.

Lifecycle actions can be rejected with an incorrect-state conflict while an instance is still mid-transition, so let a newly launched, stopped or started instance settle before you start, reboot or terminate it.
Boot Volume Size must be at least 50 GB; Launch Instance rejects a smaller value before the request ever reaches Oracle Cloud.
Flexible shapes (those ending in .Flex) require the OCPUs and Memory GB fields to be set together; leave both blank for a fixed shape.
The tag fields accept only freeform string key/value pairs supplied as a JSON object — Oracle Cloud defined tags and tag namespaces are not supported, and Set Instance Tags replaces every existing freeform tag.
List Instance VNICs reports a failure when it cannot resolve any of an instance's IP addresses, which usually means the credential's policy lacks permission to read the virtual-network family rather than that the instance has no reachable address.
The Region field expects a plain Oracle Cloud region key such as uk-london-1, not a console URL or endpoint hostname.
