What

• Adds support for tag defaults in OCI Quickstart
• Adds new policy enabling Datadog to use defined tags, which is a requirement for creating connector hubs in compartments with default tag requirements
• Collects the default tags for the compartment, then provides these tags when creating each resource so they are included.
• Updates subnet creation as a necessity of supporting defined tags
• For some of the regional stack creation code, the defined tags had to be passed as json, which is the reason for some of the more expanded parsing/formatting rules in this PR
• Had to add defined tags to the deletion job as well, since we "create" a deletion job in the compartment

Why

Customers can have tag defaults (see link below) requiring resources created in a compartment to have certain defined tags. This update automatically detects and applies those tags when necessary in the user's compartment.

The policy allowing Datadog to use defined tags is not conditional on whether or not the compartment has defined tags in order to remain future compatible, if the user eventually adds these, so that it will not break their integration.

Testing

• Verified that quickstart works in scenarios requiring these tags, and also in scenarios that do not require them.
• Also verified necessity of adding single permissions policy - ability to use defined tags in the compartment.
• Additionally, modified some of the subnet code, so verified that subnets still generate and work as expects, even when the user provides their own subnets.
• Code works across regions as well
