Provisioning an Autonomous Database without using the OCI Console is possible through

programmatic methods. The correct answer is:

Using the cloud infrastructure command line interface or REST API calls (D): The Oracle Cloud

Infrastructure Command Line Interface (OCI CLI) and REST APIs allow users to provision and manage

Autonomous Database resources programmatically. This method is ideal for automation or when GUI

access is not preferred. For example, the OCI CLI command oci db autonomous-database create can

be used to provision a database by specifying parameters like compartment ID, database name, and

workload type. Similarly, a REST API POST request to /autonomousDatabases achieves the same

result.

The incorrect options are:

Using the DBCA on the database server (A): The Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) is a tool for

on-premises Oracle databases, not for cloud-based Autonomous Databases, which are fully managed

by Oracle.

Connecting to the cloud infrastructure console using the SSH wallet (B): SSH wallets are for secure

shell access to compute instances, not for provisioning databases or interacting with the OCI

Console.

It cannot be done (C): This is false, as programmatic provisioning via CLI or API is explicitly supported.

This capability enhances automation and integration into DevOps workflows.
