Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Multicloud Architect Associate — Question 36

You used the "Stop" option from the Console of an Exadata Database Service virtual machine within a VM cluster.
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Billing for the CPU stops but billing for the Exadata Infrastructure continues.
• B. The stopped VM is not available to any other database deployment.
• C. All the VMs in the cluster are stopped.
• D. All the databases in the VM cluster are stopped.
• E. Billing for the OCPU and Infrastructure are stopped until the VM restarts.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because stopping the VM halts CPU billing, but the infrastructure charges continue. Option B is also correct since a stopped VM remains allocated to its original deployment and cannot be utilized by others. Options C and D are incorrect as only the specific VM that was stopped is affected, not the entire cluster. Option E is incorrect because infrastructure billing continues even when the VM is stopped.
