Explore allowing the use of an existing VCN and/or Bastion service instance

[michael-cico]

When support is added for using the OCI bastion service for SSH and port-forwarding for private cluster endpoints, it would be useful if the module could accept an existing VCN/Subnet and OCI bastion configuration instead of creating its own.

We have a use case for test clusters where we wish to use a single VCN and a single bastion instance to support multiple OKE test clusters. So, ideally we could provide the VCN/Subnet/Bastion OCIDs and the module would simply make use of those.

Hi, I have a similar use case where I need to address specific requirements on the VCN and subnets architecture, so for the bastion host I need to specify the subnet ID instead of creating a new one.

Actually another factor is that Bastions are typically a scarce resource (5 by default per tenancy). So the ability to reuse them is important.

any traction on this ?
