Terraform and OCI Compute Instance Provisioning.

Problem:

Error: 404-NotAuthorizedOrNotFound 

Provider version: 4.43.0, released on 2021-09-08. This provider is 7 update(s) behind to current. 

Service: Core Instance 

Error Message: Authorization failed or requested resource not found. 

OPC request ID: 4d08355655dc4bcd2f6ebc9b13fc582e/EE6FD3C4D7841A48A633023A67285401/B89D25D770B24C7D17E47E1F5EC2D9AC 

Suggestion: Either the resource has been deleted or service Core Instance need policy to access this resource. Policy reference: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Reference/policyreference.htm

Cause:

The source resource and the destination resource are in different regions. for example, You planned to create compute instance in ap-sydney-1 region, but the source image is in ap-tokyo-1.

Solution:

Use the source image in the same region as the compute instance.
