Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Associate: Instance Shape Capacity and Configuration

Provisioning virtual machine instances requires a surprising amount of technical knowledge. Understanding the basics of instance shapes and instance capacities is key to getting compute right for your use case.In this course, learn about OCI instance concepts, including the different shapes and capacity models available. Next, explore the architecture behind the scenes, such as hypervisors, VM design, and the core components that make up an OCI instance. Finally, discover how to create an instance through the OCI Console, manage compartments using the OCI CLI in Cloud Shell, configure authentication, and spin up a VM programmatically.This course is part of a series designed to prepare learners for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 Certified Foundations Associate (1Z0-1085-25) certification.
