Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 38

You plan to launch a VM instance with the VM.Standard2.24 shape and Oracle Linux 8 platform image. You want to protect your VM instance from low-level threats, such as rootkits and bootkits that can infect the firmware and operating system and are difficult to detect.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a shielded instance.
• B. Use Vulnerability Scanning Service.
• C. Use in-transit encryption.
• D. Create a burstable instance.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a shielded instance is the correct choice as it offers enhanced security against low-level threats such as rootkits and bootkits by protecting the firmware and operating system. The other options, such as using Vulnerability Scanning Service or in-transit encryption, focus on different aspects of security and do not specifically address the protection against these types of threats.
