Description

The package, installed with pip, is about 363MB, which is quite sizable, (like almost 7x the size of pandas, an already pretty large library)

With the dependencies, that comes to 383MB+
363M oci
20M cryptography

Is there a plan to make this SDK installable in modules (like oci["storage"]), to be able to use specific parts only when needed?

If I only need to use the storage client, it seems a bit excessive to have to install an almost 400MB package just for that. This makes docker images much larger than they could be.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the package layout and installation dependency configuration, then measure the current OCI package and cryptography footprint. The work is done when users can install only the SDK modules they need, such as storage, and a storage-only installation is materially smaller.
