Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 65

When terminating a compute instance, you want to preserve the boot volume and its data.
Which step will you need to perform?

Answer options

• A. You cannot preserve the boot volume; it will always be deleted when you terminate the instance.
• B. Reboot the instance first, and then terminate the instance.
• C. Disable the default option to delete the boot volume when terminating an instance.
• D. Before terminating the instance, you must detach the boot volume.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because disabling the default deletion option allows the boot volume to remain after the instance is terminated. Option A is incorrect as it implies that preservation is impossible. Option B is irrelevant since rebooting does not affect boot volume preservation, and option D is incorrect because detaching the volume is not necessary for preservation.
