Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
When you use a flexible shape, you must scale OCPUs and memory in a fixed, predefined ratio.
Why it's wrong here
A key benefit of flexible shapes is that you do not have to follow a fixed ratio; you can scale them independently.
- ✗
Flexible shapes are only supported with Intel Xeon processor families.
Why it's wrong here
Flexible shapes are widely available across AMD (Standard E-series) and Ampere (A-series Arm) processor families, not just Intel.
- ✗
Flexible shapes cannot be resized once the compute instance has been provisioned.
Why it's wrong here
You can easily resize the OCPUs and memory of a flexible instance after stopping and updating the instance configuration.
- ✓
Flexible shapes allow you to independently customize the amount of memory and the number of OCPUs for a virtual machine instance.
Why this is correct
Flexible shapes give customers granular control to size OCPUs and memory independently to fit their exact workload needs.
- ✓
Flexible shapes are available for both AMD and Ampere-based virtual machine instances.
Why this is correct
OCI offers flexible virtual machine shapes powered by AMD processors as well as Ampere Arm processors.
