Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 83

When terminating a compute instance, which statement is true?

Answer options

• A. The instance needs to be stopped first, and then terminated.
• B. The boot volume is always deleted.
• C. All block volumes attached to the instance are terminated.
• D. Users can preserve the boot volume associated with the instance.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because users can choose to preserve the boot volume when terminating the instance. Option A is incorrect because the instance does not need to be stopped before termination. Option B is wrong as the boot volume can be preserved, and option C is misleading since only the attached block volumes that are set to be deleted will be terminated, not all of them automatically.
