Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 3

Which of the following statements is true about cloning a volume in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Block Volume service?

Answer options

• A. Creating a clone takes longer than creating a backup of a volume.
• B. You can clone a volume to another region.
• C. You need to detach a volume before cloning it.
• D. You can change the block volume size when cloning a volume.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as it is possible to specify a different size for the block volume when creating a clone. Option A is incorrect because cloning typically takes less time than a backup. Option B is false since cloning is limited to the same region. Option C is also wrong because detaching is not a requirement for cloning a volume.
