First Step to Deploy Infrastructure in a Different OCI Region

A.

The correct answer is B. Subscribe to the desired region.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is organized into regions and availability domains. A region is a localized geographic area, while an availability domain is one or more data centers located within a region. Each region is independent and consists of at least three availability domains.

When a new customer logs in to OCI for the first time, they are automatically assigned to their home region based on their location. However, they can deploy infrastructure in other regions as well, but they need to subscribe to those regions first.

Subscribing to a region means that the customer agrees to the terms and conditions for using resources in that region, and authorizes the use of their account in that region. To subscribe to a region, the administrator needs to perform the following steps:

1. Go to the OCI Console and click on the navigation menu in the top-left corner.
2. Select "Governance & Administration," and then "Tenancy Details."
3. In the Tenancy Details page, scroll down to the "Region Subscription" section and click on the "Subscribe to Region" button.
4. Select the desired region from the dropdown menu and accept the terms and conditions.
5. Follow the prompts to confirm the subscription.

Once the subscription is complete, the administrator can navigate to the desired region and begin creating resources. It's important to note that some services and features may not be available in all regions, so it's important to check the documentation and ensure that the desired region supports the required services.
