Certification

This provider is certified: it passes every behavior in the BigFleet conformance program — the same bar every provider must clear — which exercises launch, configure, drain, and delete under load, failure, and restart. You don’t need to run anything here to use it; this page exists if you want to reproduce that verdict yourself.

“Certified” means exactly what it means in the conformance program: the provider passes both the upstream authoritative baseline and this repo’s extension suite, with no failures and no skipped-as-failed behaviors.

One command

make certify-oracle-cloud

That target (hack/run-certify.sh oracle-cloud) is fully credential-free. It:

Resolves the bigfleet checkout that owns the authoritative contract — reusing $BIGFLEET_SRC if set, otherwise cloning the exact version pinned in the provider’s go.mod.
Builds ./bin/oracle-cloud and boots it on 127.0.0.1:9099 with --provider=certify --seed-count=256. It uses --use-fake-backend, so no OCI tenancy is touched — the extension suite consumes a fresh machine per behavior, hence the generous seed.
Runs the upstream baseline (test/conformance/ in the bigfleet repo), then the extension suite (conformance/suite), both dialing that one endpoint.
Prints CERTIFIED: oracle-cloud passed the upstream baseline + the extension suite — or fails non-zero on the first failing behavior.

Run the bare extension suite with make conformance-oracle-cloud.

The full multi-lane report

The complete certification — all 93 behaviors across every lane — runs through the bfconformance runner and emits a JUnit + JSON report with a final verdict:

make report-oracle-cloud PROFILE=core,cloud,spot,fault,durable,scale

A representative run:

  baseline : 25 tests, 24 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped
  extension: 93 tests, 93 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
  behaviors: 93 total — 93 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 0 not-implemented
>> VERDICT: CERTIFIED

(The one baseline skip is since_revision: this provider returns full List state each cycle — correct below ~10k machines/shard — so the incremental-cursor behavior is skipped-as-pass, not failed.)

Profiles the OCI provider claims

The harness certifies a provider against the profiles it advertises; behaviors outside a claimed profile skip-as-pass:

core — every provider (lifecycle, errors, fencing, concurrency, metadata, field-shape, list, property).
cloud — implements Delete (Idle → Speculative). The OCI provider does (Delete = TerminateInstance).
spot — exposes preemptible capacity, so the SPOT interruption rigor applies. The OCI provider does (OCI Preemptible Instances), so the SPOT-interruption_probability > 0 assertion holds by construction (see Pricing & interruption).
fault — failure / timeout → FAILED handling (via a reference fault provider).
durable — fence marks, idempotency, bindings, and inventory survive a kill + restart against a --state file.
scale — large inventory, churn-soak, latency budgets.

The OCI provider does not claim the bare-metal profile: capacity is set by the declared capacity_type (a BM.* shape can be offered as on_demand — hourly-billed, Delete-able — or as bare_metal — held, price 0), and Delete is always implemented, so it never exposes the fixed free pool where Delete is Unimplemented that the bare-metal profile certifies.

The fault, durable, and scale lanes come from providerkit and pass by construction for any kit-based provider.

Certifying a real endpoint

make certify-oracle-cloud certifies the fake backend in CI. To certify the provider talking to real OCI, boot it against your tenancy and point the extension suite at it:

./bin/oracle-cloud --addr 127.0.0.1:9099 \
  --region eu-frankfurt-1 \
  --compartment ocid1.compartment.oc1..bbbb \
  --subnet ocid1.subnet.oc1..dddd \
  --image ocid1.image.oc1..eeee \
  --offerings ./offerings.json

go -C conformance test -tags=certify -count=1 ./suite/... -target=127.0.0.1:9099

A real run launches and terminates real instances and runs Run Commands on them, so the endpoint needs the permissions on the Credentials & auth page. Certify in a throwaway compartment.
