Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 53

Which two choices are true for Oracle Autonomous Database with Shared Exadata Infrastructure? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Autonomous database does not support per-second billing.
• B. Billing for compute usage stops when autonomous database is stopped.
• C. Billing for storage usage continues when autonomous database is stopped.
• D. Billing stops for both CPU and storage usage when autonomous database is stopped.
• E. Billing does not stop when autonomous database is terminated.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because billing for compute usage indeed stops when the autonomous database is stopped, but storage billing continues. Options A and D are incorrect as A misstates the billing model and D incorrectly suggests that both CPU and storage billing stops. Option E is also incorrect since billing does cease upon termination.
