# OCI Vault sync

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

> [!NOTE]
>
> 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 [sales@infisical.com](mailto:sales@infisical.com) to purchase an enterprise license to use it.

**Prerequisites:**

* Create an [OCI Connection](https://infisical.com/docs/integrations/app-connections/oci.md) 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.

> * **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](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/secret-reference.md#secret-imports).
>
> **4. Configure destination**
>
> Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**.
>

>
> * **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.
>
> **5. Configure sync options**
>
> Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**.
>
> ![Configure Sync Options](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/oci-vault/configure-sync-options.png)
>
> * **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.
>
> * **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.

## FAQ

> [accordion] 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] 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.
