Connect your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) tenancy so Myrmex can read your resource configuration, audit your cloud security posture, and help you fix misconfigurations. Myrmex reaches the OCI APIs through a Collector using a dedicated API-signing user — everything is read in real time, on demand, and nothing from your tenancy is stored on the Myrmex side.

​
What Myrmex Can Do

Read and inventory

Enumerate compartments and resources — Compute, Object Storage, IAM, and networking — for read-only analysis.

Cloud posture audit

Run a Security Posture audit against your tenancy using CIS, ISO 27001, and NIST controls.

Find misconfigurations

Surface public buckets, overly permissive policies, and risky network security rules.

Guided remediation

Get prioritized fixes and, on approval, apply changes to close the gaps.

​
Before You Start

  • A Collector deployed where it can reach the OCI APIs over HTTPS. See Deploying the agent.
  • An OCI account with the Cloud Administrator role, to create the authentication user, group, and policy.
  • Your Tenancy OCID and the home region identifier.

​
Step 1 — Create the Credential in OCI

1

Gather your tenancy information

Note your Tenancy OCID from the Tenancy details page, and your home region identifier. Make sure the home region is selected in the top-right corner of the console.
2

Deploy the Myrmex policy stack

From the Myrmex OCI integration tile, use Create Policy Stack to run the Myrmex Resource Manager template. It creates a MyrmexAuthUser, its group, and a narrowly scoped policy. Deploy this once per tenancy, accepting the defaults.
3

Get the user OCID

In the OCI console, search for MyrmexAuthUser, open the user, and copy its OCID.
4

Generate an API key

On the user page, under Resources → API keys, click Add API key, choose Generate API key pair, and Download private key. Click Add, then copy the fingerprint that is shown.

​
Step 2 — Add the Integration in Myrmex

In the Directory, choose Add Integration → Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and fill in:

​
Connect

Click Connect to validate the credentials and finish. The tenancy then appears under Environment → Integrations, and you can start asking the AI about it in the Workspace.
The policy stack grants MyrmexAuthUser a least-privilege, read-oriented policy. Keep it read-only for analysis and broaden it only when you want the agents to apply changes.
