Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 1

You have an instance running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that cannot be live-migrated during an infrastructure maintenance event. OCI schedules a maintenance due date within 14 to 16 days and sends you a notification.
What would happen if you choose not to proactively reboot the instance before the scheduled maintenance due date?

Answer options

• A. You will receive another notification to reboot within the next 14 days.
• B. The instance will get terminated.
• C. The instance is either reboot-migrated or rebuilt in place for you.
• D. You will receive another notification to reboot within the next 7 days.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if the instance cannot be live-migrated and is not rebooted before the maintenance, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will handle it by either reboot-migrating or rebuilding it in place. The other options are incorrect as they suggest receiving additional notifications or termination, which do not reflect OCI's handling of maintenance for non-rebooted instances.
