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
✓
Flexible shapes support both AMD EPYC and Ampere ARM processor architectures.
Flexible shapes allow independent scaling of OCPUs and memory. They are available for both AMD and Ampere processor architectures across VM instances.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Flexible shapes are only available for Bare Metal instances and cannot be used with Virtual Machines.
Why it's wrong here
Flexible shapes are widely available for virtual machines (e.g., E3, E4, A1 Flex).
- ✓
Flexible shapes support both AMD EPYC and Ampere ARM processor architectures.
Why this is correct
Flexible VM shapes are offered in AMD EPYC (E3/E4/E5) and Ampere ARM (A1) variants.
- ✗
Once a flexible compute instance is launched, its OCPU and memory allocations can never be modified.
Why it's wrong here
Flexible instances support resizing OCPUs and memory after creation (vertical scaling).
- ✓
You can independently adjust the number of OCPUs and the amount of memory when launching a flexible instance.
Why this is correct
Flexible shapes decouple OCPU and RAM selection for precise sizing.
- ✗
Flexible shapes require a fixed ratio of 8 GB of RAM per 1 OCPU.
Why it's wrong here
Flexible shapes allow customizing memory per OCPU outside of fixed ratios.
