Deploying Users, Groups and Policies in a 100% Automated Way using Ansible and Cloud Shell

In this project based on a real-world scenario, I acted as Cloud Specialist with the mission to create Users, Groups and Policies in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It seemed an easy task to perform using the OCI console. However, it’s not a viable solution when it comes to large scale cases.

So, the goal was to create resources in an automated way using a powerful tool called Ansible.

Below are few screenshots:

We can see how Ansible can be used to create Groups, Policies and Users in seconds in a fully automated way. Amazing!
