OIC gen3 - using the OCI Object Storage Action | Create bucket | Upload an object to the bucket

Usecase: 

Here, we will create a bucket and upload an object to OS bucket.

In Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), we can use the OCI Object Storage action to interact with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage, allowing integration workflows to upload, download, and manage files stored in OCI.

Supported Operations

Under Manage objects:

• Upload Object: Store files in a specified bucket, enabling integration processes to archive data or manage backups.
• Download Object: Retrieve files from a bucket, useful for processing files stored in Object Storage as part of workflows.
• List Objects: Get details on files within a bucket, useful for fetching metadata or initiating further actions based on file availability.
• Delete Object: Remove files from a bucket, which is helpful for cleaning up temporary data or managing lifecycle policies

Under manage buckets:

• Create bucket
• List buckets
• Delete buckets
