# OCI Vault Sync

> Learn how to configure an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Vault Sync for Infisical.

<Info>
  OCI Vault Sync is a paid feature.

  If you're using Infisical Cloud, then it is available under the **Enterprise Tier**. If you're self-hosting Infisical,
  then you should contact [team@infisical.com](mailto:team@infisical.com) to purchase an enterprise license to use it.
</Info>

**Prerequisites:**

* Create an [OCI Connection](/integrations/app-connections/oci) with the required **Secret Sync** permissions
* [Create](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/compartments/To_create_a_compartment.htm) or use an existing OCI Compartment (which the OCI Connection is authorized to access)
* [Create](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/KeyManagement/Tasks/managingvaults_topic-To_create_a_new_vault.htm#createnewvault) or use an existing OCI Vault
* Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this secret sync provider, if network restrictions apply.

      </Step>

      <Step title="Configure source">
        Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**.

                <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/oci-vault/configure-source.png" alt="Configure Source" />

        * **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
        * **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.

        <Tip>
          If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports).
        </Tip>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Configure destination">
        Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**.

                <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/oci-vault/configure-destination.png" alt="Configure Destination" />

        * **OCI Connection**: The OCI Connection to authenticate with.
        * **Compartment**: The compartment where the vault is located.
        * **Vault**: The vault to sync secrets to.
        * **Encryption Key**: The encryption key to use when creating secrets in the vault.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Configure sync options">
        Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**.

                <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/oci-vault/configure-sync-options.png" alt="Configure Sync Options" />

        * **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
          * **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
          * **Import Secrets (Prioritize Infisical)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Infisical over OCI Vault when keys conflict.
          * **Import Secrets (Prioritize OCI Vault)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from OCI Vault over Infisical when keys conflict.
        * **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name and `{{environment}}` for the environment.

        <Note>
          We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.
        </Note>

        * **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
        * **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Configure details">
        Configure the **Details** of your OCI Vault Sync, then click **Next**.

        * **Name**: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
        * **Description**: An optional description for your sync.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Review configuration">
        Review your OCI Vault Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**.

      </Step>

      <Step title="Sync created">
        If enabled, your OCI Vault Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

  <Tab title="API">
    To create an **OCI Vault Sync**, make an API request to the [Create OCI Vault Sync](/api-reference/endpoints/secret-syncs/oci-vault/create) API endpoint.

    ### Sample request

    ```bash Request theme={"dark"}

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How are non-active lifecycle states treated?">
    When Infisical attempts to sync secrets, the sync will fail and attempt to re-sync if **any secret** has one of the following lifecycle states:

    * SchedulingDeletion
    * CancellingDeletion
    * Deleting
    * Creating
    * Updating

    We do this to prevent any desync issues.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I create / update a variable that's scheduled for deletion in OCI Vault?">
    In the case that a variable is created or updated while it's scheduled for deletion in OCI Vault, we cancel the deletion and update the variable. This action may take up to a minute since Infisical must wait for OCI to completely cancel the deletion and then update the variable.
