Autonomous Database's auto scaling feature allows your database to use up to three times the current base number of OCPU cores at any time. As demand increases, auto scaling automatically increases the number of cores in use. Likewise, as demand drops, auto scaling automatically decreases the number of cores in use. Which statement is FALSE regarding the auto scaling feature?
Auto scaling in Autonomous Database dynamically adjusts OCPU usage up to three times the base allocation. Let's evaluate each statement:
Correct Answer (C): ''The base number of OCPU cores allocated to a database is not guaranteed'' is false. The base OCPU count, set during provisioning or manual scaling, is always guaranteed as the minimum available resource, even with auto scaling enabled. Auto scaling only increases usage above this baseline when needed.
True Statements:
A: On dedicated Exadata, the max cores for auto scaling are constrained by available free cores not used by other databases, ensuring resource fairness.
B: The total cores in the Exadata instance define the upper limit for any database's auto scaling capacity.
D: Auto scaling is not enabled by default (must be explicitly activated) and can be toggled on/off, though this statement's phrasing could be clearer---it's still true in context.
This guarantees predictable minimum performance while allowing flexibility for peak loads.
