# Get Started with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Setup for Workbench

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure can be onboarded manually or via Terraform. Both setup processes enable you to create and configure OCI functions to forward the audit logs from any region to a centralized bucket in the home region.

{% hint style="info" %}
Manual onboarding requires you to individually create a number of global, central, and regional resources. The Terraform scripts provision all of these resources for you. 
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.expel.io/connect-your-technology/l-p-integrations/oracle-cloud-infrastructure/get-started-with-oracle-cloud-infrastructure-setup-for-workbench.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
