Explanation:
Provider Configuration: Sets up the OCI provider, specifies the required version (~> 6.0), and sets the target region (us-ashburn-1).
Variables: Defines input variables for compartment_id, subnet_id, and ssh_public_key which you'll need to provide when running Terraform.
Data Sources:
oci_identity_availability_domains: Fetches the list of Availability Domains (ADs) in your specified region and compartment. The instance and volumes will be placed in the first AD found (ads.availability_domains[0].name).
oci_core_images: Dynamically finds the latest OCI Image OCID for Ubuntu 24.04 compatible with the specified shape. It sorts by creation time descending and picks the first one. You might need to adjust the compartment_id or filter depending on where the image resides (your compartment or Oracle's).
oci_core_instance:
Provisions the virtual machine itself.
Sets the availability_domain, compartment_id, and display_name.
Specifies the shape as VM.Standard.E5.Flex.
Uses shape_config to define the 8 OCPUs and 64 GB Memory.
Uses source_details to configure the boot volume with the Ubuntu 24.04 image OCID found by the data source and sets the boot volume size to 128 GB.
create_vnic_details configures the primary network interface, attaching it to your specified subnet_id.
metadata includes the ssh_public_key for initial access.
oci_core_volume:
Two resources define the additional block volumes (300 GB and 50 GB) in the same AD as the instance.
oci_core_volume_attachment:
Two resources attach the previously defined block volumes to the instance using the iscsi attachment type.
Outputs: (Optional) Provides useful information like the instance's public/private IP and OCID after creation.
To use this code:
Save it as a .tf file (e.g., main.tf).
Create a terraform.tfvars file (or use environment variables/command-line flags) to provide values for compartment_id, subnet_id, and ssh_public_key.

Explanation:
Provider Configuration:
The oci provider is configured for the us-ashburn-1 region.
Instance Configuration:
The instance uses the VM.Standard.E5.Flex shape with 8 OCPUs and 64 GB of memory.
The boot volume is set to 128 GB.
The image is filtered to use Ubuntu 24.04.
Block Volumes:
Two additional block volumes are created: one with 300 GB and another with 50 GB.
These volumes are attached to the instance.
Data Sources:
Availability domains and the Ubuntu 24.04 image are fetched dynamically using data sources.
Variables:
compartment_id and subnet_id are defined as variables to make the configuration reusable.
Steps to Use:
Replace var.compartment_id and var.subnet_id with the appropriate OCIDs for your compartment and subnet.
Ensure your SSH public key file (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) exists and is correctly referenced.
To provision a virtual server with the specified requirements using Terraform with the "oracle/oci ~ 6.0" module, you will need to create a Terraform configuration file. Below is a step-by-step guide and a sample configuration.
Step 1: Install Terraform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Provider
Ensure you have Terraform installed on your machine. You can download it from the official Terraform website. The OCI provider will be automatically installed when you run terraform init.
Step 2: Configure OCI Provider
Create a file named main.tf and start by configuring the OCI provider.
Make sure to replace the variable values with your actual OCI credentials and compartment OCID.
The oci_core_instance resource uses the VM.Standard.E5.Flex shape with 8 OCPU and 64 GB of memory.
The oci_core_volume resources create block storage volumes for the boot disk and other disks.
The oci_core_volume_attachment resources attach the volumes to the instance.
Please ensure you have the necessary OCI credentials and permissions to create resources in your tenancy. Also, be aware of the costs associated with creating and running resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
