Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 51

You want to run compute virtual machine (VM) instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Your business unit has the following requirements that need to be considered before you launch the VMs:
Requirement 1: Shared infrastructure should not be used to deploy VMs.
Requirement 2: Meet node-based licensing requirements that require you to license an entire server.
Which compute capacity type would you select to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Preemptible capacity
• B. Dedicated host
• C. Capacity reservation
• D. On-demand capacity

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Dedicated host, because it allows you to utilize a physical server exclusively for your VMs, thus meeting the requirement for no shared infrastructure and ensuring compliance with node-based licensing. The other options, such as Preemptible capacity, Capacity reservation, and On-demand capacity, do not guarantee the dedicated use of a physical server, which is necessary for the stated requirements.
