Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 16

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. Four
• B. Three
• C. Two
• D. One

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To meet the high availability requirement across at least two Availability Domains for both instance types, you would need to create at least four reservations—two for the VM.Standard2.2 instances and two for the VM.Standard.E4.Flex instances. This ensures that both types of instances are adequately distributed across the required Availability Domains. The other options do not provide enough reservations to meet the availability criteria.
