Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 37

You just got a last minute request to create a set of instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The configuration and installed software are identical for every instance, and you already have a running instance in your OCI tenancy.
Which image option allows you to achieve this task with the least amount of effort?

Answer options

• A. Use Oracle-provided images and customize the installation using a third-party tool.
• B. Bring your own image and use it as a template for the new instances.
• C. Select an image from the OCI Marketplace.
• D. Create a custom image and use it as a template for the new instances.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using your own image allows for quick deployment of identical instances without additional customization. Options A and C require extra steps for customization or selection, while option D involves creating a custom image, which is more effort than simply using an existing image.
