OCI Vault Sync

Learn how to configure an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Vault Sync for Infisical.

OCI Vault Sync is a paid feature.

If you’re using Infisical Cloud, then it is available under the Enterprise Tier. If you’re self-hosting Infisical, then you should contact [e-mail] to purchase an enterprise license to use it.

Prerequisites:

• Create an OCI Connection with the required Secret Sync permissions
• Create or use an existing OCI Compartment (which the OCI Connection is authorized to access)
• Create or use an existing OCI Vault
• Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this secret sync provider, if network restrictions apply.

Infisical UI

1. Add Sync

   Navigate to Project > Integrations and select the Secret Syncs tab. Click on the Add Sync button.

   

2. Select 'OCI Vault'

   

3. Configure source

   Configure the Source from where secrets should be retrieved, then click Next.

   

   • Environment: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
   • Secret Path: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.

   If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out secret imports.

4. Configure destination

   Configure the Destination to where secrets should be deployed, then click Next.

   

   • OCI Connection: The OCI Connection to authenticate with.
   • Compartment: The compartment where the vault is located.
   • Vault: The vault to sync secrets to.
   • Encryption Key: The encryption key to use when creating secrets in the vault.
5. Configure sync options

   Configure the Sync Options to specify how secrets should be synced, then click Next.

   

   • Initial Sync Behavior: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
     • Overwrite Destination Secrets: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
     • Import Secrets (Prioritize Infisical): Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Infisical over OCI Vault when keys conflict.
     • Import Secrets (Prioritize OCI Vault): Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from OCI Vault over Infisical when keys conflict.
   • Key Schema: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using {{secretKey}} as a placeholder for the original secret name and {{environment}} for the environment.

   We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.

   • Auto-Sync Enabled: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
   • Disable Secret Deletion: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.
6. Configure details

   Configure the Details of your OCI Vault Sync, then click Next.

   

   • Name: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
   • Description: An optional description for your sync.
7. Review configuration

   Review your OCI Vault Sync configuration, then click Create Sync.

   

8. Sync created

   If enabled, your OCI Vault Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

   

FAQ

How are non-active lifecycle states treated?

When Infisical attempts to sync secrets, the sync will fail and attempt to re-sync if any secret has one of the following lifecycle states:

• SchedulingDeletion
• CancellingDeletion
• Deleting
• Creating
• Updating

We do this to prevent any desync issues.

What happens if I create / update a variable that's scheduled for deletion in OCI Vault?

In the case that a variable is created or updated while it’s scheduled for deletion in OCI Vault, we cancel the deletion and update the variable. This action may take up to a minute since Infisical must wait for OCI to completely cancel the deletion and then update the variable.
