I contributed to the OCI Instance to Volume Tag Sync (Safe Mode) project by enhancing and validating a Python-based automation script that ensures consistent tag propagation between compute instances and their attached storage resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). My contribution focused on maintaining safe, non-destructive tag synchronization by ensuring that only selected freeform tags (environment, application) are copied from a compute instance to its boot and attached block volumes—without overwriting any existing metadata. I helped reinforce the script’s safety-first design (single compartment, single instance scope, no recursion, no bulk updates), improved clarity around IAM permission requirements, and validated behavior for production-safe execution. This solution helps organizations improve cost tracking, governance, environment segregation (dev/uat/prod), and audit readiness while preserving existing operational metadata on storage resources.
