In OCI, how are resource quotas implemented?

Resource quotas in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) are crucial for managing and controlling cloud resources effectively. The correct approach to understanding how resource quotas are implemented is that they are designed to limit the number of resources that can be provisioned for a specific type across the tenancy. This means that organizations can set specific limits on how many instances, volumes, or other resources can be created, which helps prevent overconsumption of cloud resources and ensures fair usage among different teams or departments within an organization.

Implementing quotas supports the overall governance and financial management strategy by allowing organizations to control cloud expenditures and resource allocation proactively. It helps in managing costs by avoiding unexpected resource consumption and ensuring that available resources are distributed in a manner consistent with organizational needs and priorities.

The other choices do not align with the primary function of resource quotas. Tracking usage over time without limits does not facilitate active management of resources. Unlimited resource provisioning would lead to uncontrolled growth of resource consumption, defeating the purpose of governance and financial management. Assigning additional costs to resource usage does not reflect the intent of quotas, which is to control and limit rather than to penalize or charge beyond established thresholds. Thus, the implementation of resource quotas is fundamentally about limiting resource provisioning within specified parameters, making option B the
