Verification

Plan-validated

Passed: module logic verified on a mocked plan - inputs, validation rules, conditional creation and outputs resolve (no real provider, no cloud).

Conformance

  • Static validation (fmt · validate · tflint)
  • Security scan clean (Checkov)
  • Plan tests (mocked: validation rules · outputs)

Provenance

Functional

  • Live test pending (no cloud run yet)

Documentation

oci-network-load-balancer

Status: static-validated, live-test pending. Ships under live-test quarantine — no OCI cloud sandbox is wired into CI yet, so the live apply → verify → destroy gate has not run. Static validation (fmt, validate, tflint) passes.

Low-latency, pass-through Layer-4 Network Load Balancer for OCI: TCP/UDP listeners, backend sets with L4 health checks, and preserved client source IPs. Simpler and cheaper than the L7 Load Balancer — the natural front door for OKE node pools, custom TCP services and UDP workloads. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), OCI provider >= 8.0, < 9.0.

Secure defaults

  • Private by default (is_private = true): no public IP unless you opt in.
  • Deny-by-default backends: a backend only receives traffic once it passes its health check; health checks are required on every backend set.
  • NSG-first: attach network_security_group_ids for a stateful, deny-by-default data plane instead of opening the subnet security list.
  • Client-IP preservation is available per backend set (is_preserve_source) and NLB-wide (preserve_source_destination) for transparent backends.
  • A reserved public IP can only bind to a public NLB (precondition), and symmetric hashing requires source/destination preservation (precondition).

Requirements

  • Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
  • Provider oracle/oci >= 8.0, < 9.0
