Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 16

Which TWO statements are NOT correct regarding the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) burstable instances? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Burstable instances cost less than regular instances with the same total OCPU count.
• B. Burstable instances are designed for scenarios where an instance is not typically idle and has high CPU utilization.
• C. If the instance's average CPU utilization over the past 24 hours is below the baseline, the system allows it to burst above the baseline.
• D. Baseline utilization is a fraction of each CPU core, either 25% or 75%.
• E. Burstable instances are charged according to the baseline OCPU.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is incorrect because burstable instances are specifically designed for scenarios where CPU utilization is typically lower, allowing for bursts of activity when needed. Option D is also incorrect as baseline utilization is not a fraction of each CPU core; it is a predefined performance level that the instance can sustain without incurring additional charges.
