A. B. C. D.A.
When provisioning an Autonomous Database using the cloning method, there are several considerations to keep in mind:
A. A clone database source can be a running database instance: This statement is true. The cloning method in Autonomous Database allows you to create a new database by cloning an existing database instance. The source database can be a running instance, so you don't need to stop the source database to create a clone.
B. A clone database source can be from a point-in-time backup that is less than 2 hours old: This statement is false. While it is possible to create a clone from a backup, there is no requirement that the backup be less than 2 hours old. Instead, you can create a clone from a backup that is as old as your retention policy allows. However, it is important to note that creating a clone from a backup can take longer than creating a clone from a running instance, as the backup must be restored first.
C. When cloning an Autonomous Database, Oracle Machine Learning workspaces, projects, and notebooks of the source database are cloned to the new database: This statement is false. Cloning an Autonomous Database only clones the database itself, including the schema and data, but does not include the Oracle Machine Learning workspaces, projects, and notebooks. These must be manually migrated to the new database if desired.
D. After an Autonomous database is created using a clone, the network access option can be changed: This statement is true. After an Autonomous Database is created using the cloning method, you can modify the network access options for the database. This includes changing the allowed IP addresses for inbound traffic, configuring network access rules, and managing database network endpoints.
In summary, when provisioning an Autonomous Database using the cloning method, it is important to remember that the source database can be a running instance, and that the network access options can be modified after the clone is created. However, cloning does not include Oracle Machine Learning workspaces, projects, and notebooks, and there is no requirement that backups be less than 2 hours old.
