I threw up some notes here, to help people through Oracle's clowd; let me know if any clarifications are required. https://hackmd.io/vPvP7T7XTiGo6WjTEfts9g I uploaded the qcow2 image manually, but once that's done everything can be done via terraform, which is far less painful than the web gui. I have a few more things I'd like to iron out including how to upload a FreeBSD / poudriere generated image directly into OCI, rather than be forced to go via my browser. A+ Dave -- O for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention!
