Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2021 Architect Associate — Question 42

You have an AI/ML application running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You identified that the application needs GPU and at least 20 Gbps of network throughput.
The application is currently using a VM.Stardard2.1 compute instance with no attached block volumes.
Which two options allow you to meet the requirements for your application? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the VM.GPU3.4 shape using the preserved boot volume.
• B. Create an instance configuration using your existing instance and use the configuration to create a new instance pool with a VM.GPU3.4 shape.
• C. Clone your boot volume. Create a new instance with a VM.Standard2.8 shape and select your cloned volume as the boot volume for your new instance.
• D. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the BM.GPU2.2 shape using the preserved boot volume.
• E. Terminate the compute instance preserving the boot volume. Create a new compute instance using the VM.GPU2.1 shape using the preserved boot volume.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because it allows the application to leverage a GPU with the VM.GPU3.4 shape while preserving the existing boot volume. Option D also meets the GPU requirement but uses BM.GPU2.2, which is a bare metal shape, while the question specifically mentions needing a VM shape. The other options either do not provide the necessary GPU capabilities or do not meet the network throughput requirement.
