Applies To: 

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Linux x86-64 

Goal 

Need to know why ocid.service is accessing public IPs in OCI Linux Instance 

Symptoms 

Confirm what service is accessing the IP addresses

$ ps -ef | grep ocid 
root        4807       1 16 07:47 ?        00:00:03 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/oci_utils/impl/ocid_main.py --no-daemon 
root        4865    3907  0 07:47 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto ocid 

$ netstat -np | grep -i 4807 
tcp        0      0 10.x.x.x:42894          169.x.x.x:80         ESTABLISHED 4807/python3 
tcp        0      0 10.x.x.x:60188          140.x.x.x:443        ESTABLISHED 4807/python3 
tcp        0      0 10.x.x.x:41516          140.x.x.x:443        ESTABLISHED 4807/python3 
unix  2      [ ]         DGRAM      CONNECTED     48312    4807/python3 

Solution 

The ‘public ip’ addresses are not really public ones, they are OCI, used for the authentication; There is no security issues here, if all configured correctly.
