You need to set up instance principals so that an application running on an instance can call Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) public services, without the need to configure user credentials.
A developer in your team has already configured the application built using an OCI SDK to authenticate using the instance principals provider.
Which is NOTa necessary step to complete this set up?
Generating Auth Tokens to enable instances in the dynamic group to authenticate with APIs is not a necessary step to complete this set up. This is because Auth Tokens are used to authenticate users, not instances, when making API calls to OCI services. Instance principals are a feature that allows instances to authenticate themselves using certificates, without requiring user credentials or Auth Tokens. The other options are necessary steps to complete this set up, as they enable instances in the dynamic group to make API calls against services using instance principals and IAM policies. Reference: [Instance Principals], [Auth Tokens]
