Hi there,
Packer does provide a way for providing the instance id to provisioners using
build variables. However, these build variables do vary by builder type as it
is on the builder to set the value. If the oracle-oci builder offers access to
the instance id you can reference it via ${build.ID} for HCL2 templates or
{{build `ID`}} in JSON templates.
Is the instance ID the information you are looking for?
There are additional build variables such as HOST, Password, etc.
I would suggest giving the build variable a try and seeing if it contains the
information you are looking for.
More details on Build Variable can be found
