Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Allow group Developers to use instances in tenancy where request.subnet.id = 'ocid1.subnet...'
OCI IAM policies support conditions based on the source subnet OCID using the 'request.subnet.id' variable.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a security list rule allowing instance deletion from the specified subnet.
Why it's wrong here
Security lists control packet-level network traffic (firewall rules), whereas API actions like deleting instances are controlled by IAM policies.
- ✗
Allow group Developers to delete instances in subnet 'ocid1.subnet...'
Why it's wrong here
Policies cannot be attached directly to subnets; they are attached to compartments or the tenancy root.
- ✗
Allow group Developers to manage instances in tenancy where client.subnet.id = 'ocid1.subnet...'
Why it's wrong here
client.subnet.id is not a valid variable; request.subnet.id must be used.
- ✓
Allow group Developers to use instances in tenancy where request.subnet.id = 'ocid1.subnet...'
Why this is correct
The request.subnet.id variable allows conditional policy enforcement based on the subnet from which the API request originated.
