2.create S3 bucket
3.Take snapshot of EC2 instance
4.Convert the EC2 instance into a .ova file
5.Download the vmdk file from AWS S3 buckets
6.create OCI S3 bucket
7.Upload the vmdk to OCI S3 buckets
8.Import VMDK as OCI instance image.

#Authentication with OCI

With Ansible and oci cloud modules(roles) installed our lab still requires an IAM user with its API signing key .

You’ll need to configure OCI-CLI so Ansible could authenticate to your OCI account via the config file (~/.oci/config)

@Manikandan_G downloading the image from EC@ converted vmdk is fine , but while importing to OCI don’t we need to mention the compute size and other configuration ? or oci will take it automatically
