Description
===========

Launches an instance from an instance configuration.

If the instance configuration does not include all of the parameters
that are required to launch an instance, such as the availability
domain and subnet ID, you must provide these parameters when you
launch an instance from the instance configuration. For more
information, see the InstanceConfiguration resource.


Usage
=====

   oci compute-management instance-configuration launch-compute-instance [OPTIONS]


Required Parameters
===================

--instance-configuration-id [text]

The OCID of the instance configuration.


Optional Parameters
===================

--block-volumes [complex type]

This option is a JSON list with items of type
InstanceConfigurationBlockVolumeDetails.  For documentation on
InstanceConfigurationBlockVolumeDetails please see our API reference: 
https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/iaas/20160918/datatypes/Instan
ceConfigurationBlockVolumeDetails. This is a complex type whose value
must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the
command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file
syntax.

The "--generate-param-json-input" option can be used to generate an
example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this
example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in
via the file:// syntax.

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the
file://path-to/file syntax.

The "--generate-full-command-json-input" option can be used to
generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The
key names are pre-populated and match the command option names
(converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId),
while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before
using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command
option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a
JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists
in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line
specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with
advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Conte
nt/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--launch-details [complex type]

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can
be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file
using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The "--generate-param-json-input" option can be used to generate an
example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this
example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in
via the file:// syntax.

--secondary-vnics [complex type]

This option is a JSON list with items of type
InstanceConfigurationAttachVnicDetails.  For documentation on
InstanceConfigurationAttachVnicDetails please see our API reference: 
https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/iaas/20160918/datatypes/Instan
ceConfigurationAttachVnicDetails. This is a complex type whose value
must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the
command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file

The "--generate-param-json-input" option can be used to generate an
example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this

via the file:// syntax.

Examples
========

Copy and paste the following example into a JSON file, replacing the
example parameters with your own.

       oci compute-management instance-configuration create --generate-param-json-input instance-details > instance-details.json

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the
command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example
parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-
like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate
security policies before trying the examples.

       export compartment_id=<substitute-value-of-compartment_id> # https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/oci-cli/latest/oci_cli_docs/cmdref/compute-management/instance-configuration/create.html#cmdoption-compartment-id

       instance_configuration_id=$(oci compute-management instance-configuration create --compartment-id $compartment_id --instance-details file://instance-details.json --query data.id --raw-output)

       oci compute-management instance-configuration launch-compute-instance --instance-configuration-id $instance_configuration_id
