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 to purchase an enterprise license to use it.
**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.
Navigate to **Project** > **Integrations** and select the **Secret Syncs** tab. Click on the **Add Sync** button.
Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**.
- **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
- **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.
If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports).
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.
Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**.
- **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.
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.
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.
Review your OCI Vault Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**.
If enabled, your OCI Vault Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.
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.

## FAQ
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.
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.
