Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 42

You are launching a new project in the US West (Phoenix) region. You would like to reserve the compute capacity mentioned below so that the capacity is available for your workloads when you need it.
10 VM.Standard2.2 Instances
6 VM.Standard.E4.Flex Instances
The project also requires you to be mindful about high availability and place the instances in at least two Availability Domains.
At a bare minimum, how many capacity reservations would you create to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. One
• B. Four
• C. Two
• D. Three

Correct answer: D

Explanation

To achieve high availability across at least two Availability Domains, you need to separate the instances into multiple reservations. For both instance types, you should create three capacity reservations: two for the VM.Standard2.2 Instances and one for the VM.Standard.E4.Flex Instances, ensuring that they are distributed appropriately. The other options would not provide the necessary availability or capacity needed for this project.
