Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the compute choices that you have in OCI. We explained the different types of compute instances that you can use, as well as the different type of shapes they can have. We also described how to use different OS images while creating these instances, such as Oracle-Provided images, custom images, and so on. You also learned how to export/import images for image portability across regions and tenancy. We then discussed instance config, pools, and autoscaling. Finally, you got to grips with console connections and how to use them to troubleshoot instance issues.
In the next chapter, we will cover the various storage choices that you have in OCI and how to leverage them in your use cases.
