Thanks, got it working. The public IP is natted 1:1 for WAN interface, there is no way to expose the public IP directly the WAN interface i guess?

Upload the qcow2 image to a bucket, then import it as a custom image (generic Linux works) and configure it to support UEFI boot and Ampere instances. Then create an instance using this image.

Thanks Maurice, did the steps till the Instance creation:
1. Downloaded the latest OPNsense-24.1.7-ufs-serial-vm-aarch64.qcow2.bz2
2. Unzipped and uploaded qcow2 to bucket
3. Imported custom image (type qcow2, launch mode native / paravirtualized -> tried both)
4. Create Instance from this custom image

I can't select the Ampere Instance. Below the Image there is a Lock-symbol with the letters "BS" inside. It says: This image supports confidential computing. Confidential computing is hardware technology in CPUs that encrypts data in-use while being processed and protects against these threats.

When I try to change the shape to Ampere it states: This shape is either not compatible with the selected image, or not available in the current availability domain.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Found that I need to Edit the Custom Image and allow VM.Standard.A1.Flex in Image Details. It was not ticket so I did and this solved the selection in Instances

Hey Maurice,
thanks for your effort bringing arm Images to OCI  :)
Which qemu file do I need for the OCI Ampere Instance? ufs-serial oder ufs-efi?
When I do a "qemu-img resize filename.qemu 40G" will this create a swap partition? Or is it just 40G root and no swap?
I'm a bit lost with the next steps, I have a PAYG account. Which distribution do I need? Is it just adding a linux instance, upload the qemu to a bucket and insert it into the boot image and go?
Assistance is much appreciated, thanks everyone
