  private_key_path     = var.api_private_key_path
  region               = var.region
  tenancy_ocid         = var.tenancy_id
  user_ocid            = var.user_id
}

# provider identity parameters
variable "api_fingerprint" {
  description = "fingerprint of oci api private key"
  type        = string
}

variable "api_private_key_path" {
  description = "path to oci api private key used"
