Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 34

Which TWO statements are NOT correct regarding the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) burstable instances? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. If the instance's average CPU utilization over the past 24 hours is below the baseline, the system allows it to burst above the baseline.
• B. Burstable instances are charged according to the baseline OCPU.
• C. Burstable instances cost less than regular instances with the same total OCPU count.
• D. Baseline utilization is a fraction of each CPU core, either 25% or 75%.
• E. Burstable instances are designed for scenarios where an instance is not typically idle and has high CPU utilization.

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

Option D is incorrect because baseline utilization is typically set at specific percentages of OCPU capacity, but it is not limited to just 25% or 75%. Option E is also incorrect since burstable instances are designed for workloads that are often idle and need to burst occasionally, not for consistently high CPU utilization.
