QuestionQ32

VerifiedCompute and Storage

You intend to launch a VM instance using the VM.Standard3.Flex shape and the Oracle Linux 8 platform image. You want to safeguard the VM instance from low-level threats—such as rootkits and bootkits—that can infect firmware and the operating system and are hard to detect.

What should you do?

Explanation

OCI shielded instances harden VM firmware and the boot process against malicious boot-level software. Secure Boot validates signed boot components to prevent rootkits, bootkits, and other unauthorized software from running before the operating system loads. VM.Standard3.Flex and Oracle Linux 8 are supported for shielded instances.
