In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, what is the key difference between service limits and compartment quotas?

  • Service limits are set by Oracle for a tenancy or region, while compartment quotas are user-defined for specific compartments.
  • Service limits are user-defined for compartments, while compartment quotas are set by Oracle for a tenancy or region.
  • Both apply only to specific compartments and can be modified only by the user.

Service limits are set by Oracle for a tenancy or region, while compartment quotas are user-defined for specific compartments.



Service limits are the upper bounds placed by Oracle on the number of resources you can create in a region or tenancy, while compartment quotas are the upper bounds defined by the users for resource usage within specific compartments.

The distinction is that service limits are set by Oracle and apply to a tenancy in a region, while compartment quotas are set by the users and apply to specific compartments.

Which is NOT a factor that influences pricing in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
  • Data transfer
  • Services consumed
  • Type of resource
  • Choice of OCI region (*)

Choice of OCI region
OCI maintains the same pricing across all regions, so the choice of OCI region does not directly influence pricing.

The primary factors that influence pricing in OCI include data transfer costs, the specific services consumed, and the specific type of resource utilized.

Which type of traffic is charged under data transfer costs in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

  • Egress and ingress are both charged to and from the internet.
  • Ingress is charged between two availability domains.
  • Egress to the internet is charged.
  • Ingress and egress are charged between instances in different availability domains. 

Egress to the internet is charged.



In OCI, ingress data transfer (data coming into OCI from the internet) is typically free.

However, egress data transfer (data going out from OCI to the internet) is chargeable after the first 10 TB/month, depending on the specific region and destination.
