Explanation
Nano instance is not a type of instance offered by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute service. The types of instances offered by the Compute service are bare metal, virtual machine, dedicated virtual machine host, and flexible virtual machine host. A nano instance is a type of instance offered by AWS EC2 service that provides a small amount of consistent CPU resources and allows users to increase CPU capacity in short bursts when additional cycles are available.

Carlos M.Jun 24, 2026Answer is B, Nano Instance. OCI Compute gives you three instance types to work with: Virtual Machines, Bare Metal, and Dedicated Virtual Machine Hosts. Nano is not a category in OCI, that naming convention belongs to other clouds like AWS. Do not let the small-size angle throw you off, OCI uses shapes (like VM.Standard or BM.Standard) to control sizing, not a "Nano" tier.
Samuel O.Jun 24, 2026Carlos nailed the core answer, and the shape versus tier distinction is worth hammering because people coming from AWS or GCP burn time looking for a "size picker" that does not exist in OCI the same way.
Samuel O.Jun 27, 2026Nano Instance is not something OCI Compute actually offers, so B is your answer there. The instance types you really need to lock in for the exam are Bare Metal, Virtual Machine, and Dedicated Virtual Machine Host, but what I am curious about is whether you understand the practical difference between a Dedicated VMH and a standard VM, because that distinction shows up in licensing and tenancy isolation scenarios that Oracle loves to test on?
Ingrid P.Jun 27, 2026The wording "Compare service" is almost certainly a typo for "Compute service" in the original question, which is the kind of error that trips people up when they go looking for it in the docs. That aside, Nano Instance is not a category OCI Compute offers, so B is the card to burn into your deck, and if you keep confusing Dedicated Virtual Machine Host with Bare Metal (a very common mix-up I see people get wrong), make a separate card distinguishing those two right now.
Dervla O.Jun 27, 2026Bare Metal is a server, not a Compute instance type, pick D.
Samuel O.Jun 27, 2026Bare Metal actually is a Compute instance type in OCI, right alongside VM and Dedicated VM Host, so B is the correct pick. The exam categorizes it that way because you still get full access to the physical hardware provisioned and managed through the Compute service.
