Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2021 Architect Associate — Question 31

You have an AI/ML application running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You identified that the application needs GPU and at least 20Gbps Network throughput.
The application is currently using a VM.Standard2.1 compute without any block storage attached to it.
Which two options allow you to get your required performance for your application? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the BM.GPU2.2 shape using the boot volume preserved, but no black volume attached.
• B. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the VM.Standard2.2 shape using the boot volume preserved, but no black volume attached
• C. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the VM.GPU3.4 shape using the boot volume preserved and use the NVMe devices to host your application.
• D. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the BM.GPU2.2 shape using the boot volume preserved and attach a new block volume to host your application.
• E. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the BM.HPC2.36 shape using the boot volume preserved and use the NVMe devices to host your application.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Options A and C are correct as they provide the required GPU capabilities and performance. Option A uses the BM.GPU2.2 shape, while option C uses the VM.GPU3.4 shape, both of which meet the GPU and throughput requirements. Options B, D, and E do not meet the GPU requirements, and thus cannot provide the necessary performance for the application.
