To use the FlexDeploy OCI Plugin, follow these steps to get the information FlexDeploy requires to connect.
Create a user in IAM/IDCS for FlexDeploy to connect with and put that user in at least one group with any desired permissions. You can skip this if the user exists already. We will create the API Key for this user.
Navigate to https://cloud.oracle.com/identity/domains/my-profile/api-keys if you are using your own account. Otherwise, browse the the correct user and click Api Keys on the left side.
Click Add API Key.
Click Download private Key.

These lines are all entered into FlexDeploy.
