Oracle Linux instances created using Oracle-Provided Images include a pre-installed set of utilities that is designed to facilitate configuration tasks for Oracle Linux 7 instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). These utilities consist of a set command line tools provided in the oci-utils RPM package that is pre-installed with the latest Oracle Linux 7 images provided under the ‘Oracle-Provided OS Image’ selection when creating an instance from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.

- oci-metadata - Queries instance metadata such as the OCI region, availability domain, shape, state, OCID, compartment, and network.
- oci-public-ip - Displays the public IP address of the instance.
- ocid - This is the oci-utils service daemon.
