Lab 08: Instance
Instance is a virtual server in the cloud that provides compute power, offering scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency compared to traditional physical servers.
It behaves like a computer/server where you can:
- Install applications
- Run software
- Host websites
- Store and process data
An instance is created using:
-
🧠 CPU (OCPU) → processing power
1 OCPU=2 Virtual CPU -
🧮 Memory (RAM)
-
💾 Storage (Block Volume / Boot Volume)
-
🌐 Network (VCN, Subnet, IP)
-
🖥️ Operating System (Linux/Windows)
