Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Cost-tracking tags
Why this is correct
Defined tags enabled for cost-tracking allow you to aggregate and analyze spending by specific tag keys and values in OCI Cost Analysis.
- ✗
IAM policies
Why it's wrong here
IAM policies control access and authorization to OCI resources, not cost tracking.
- ✗
Budgets
Why it's wrong here
Budgets monitor spending against predefined financial limits, but the tagging mechanism itself is what provides the metadata for categorization.
- ✗
Compartment quotas
Why it's wrong here
Compartment quotas are used to limit resource consumption within compartments, not for tracking costs.
