Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 15

Which statement is true about cloning a volume?

Answer options

• A. You can clone a volume in another region.
• B. You need to detach a volume before cloning it.
• C. A cloned volume is the same as a snapshot that has a dependency on the source volume.
• D. You can change the block volume size when cloning a volume.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a cloned volume indeed functions like a snapshot that depends on the original volume. Options A and B are incorrect as volumes can often be cloned without detaching them and may have limitations regarding regional cloning. Option D is also incorrect because changes to the block volume size cannot be made during the cloning process.
