This document outlines the steps to provision an Oracle Public Cloud instance using Chef, including setting up a Chef workstation and server, installing the knife-oraclecloud plugin, creating an Oracle Cloud instance, and checking the provisioning status from the Chef workstation and server. The key steps are: 1) configuring a Chef workstation and server account, 2) installing ChefDK and the knife-oraclecloud plugin, 3) using knife commands like image list and server create to provision an Oracle Cloud instance, and 4) verifying the instance creation and registration on the Chef workstation and server.
