Which two requirements must be met first to create an Exadata Database Service Instance?

C. Define VCN, Private Client subnet, and Private Backup subnet:

These network components are necessary to ensure secure connectivity and backup configurations.

TheVCN (Virtual Cloud Network)provides network isolation.

ThePrivate Client subnetenables secure client connections.

ThePrivate Backup subnetis required for secure access toOCI Object Storagefor backups.

E. Create Exadata Infrastructure and VM Cluster resource:

Exadata Infrastructure represents the physical hardware.

VM Cluster resource defines compute and storage resources for the databases.

Both must be set up before provisioning the actual database instance.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. VCN and Universal Cloud Credits:Insufficient; more configuration is needed.

B. Service Backup subnet:Incorrect, it should be aPrivate Backup subnet.

D. No prerequisites:Incorrect; prerequisites include both network and infrastructure setup.
