What is the purpose of OCI's Resource Manager?

The purpose of OCI's Resource Manager is to automate the creation and management of cloud resources using code. This is achieved through the use of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles, allowing users to define their infrastructure requirements in a template format, such as Terraform. By utilizing Resource Manager, organizations can efficiently create, modify, and replicate their cloud environments consistently and reliably.

This automation streamlines the process of provisioning resources, reduces the potential for human error, and enables developers and operations teams to manage infrastructure in a more agile manner. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that the cloud resources are deployed in a repeatable way, improving operational efficiency and enhancing collaboration across teams.

The other options focus on specific functionalities that do not align with the primary purpose of Resource Manager. For example, optimizing storage for databases pertains to database management rather than resource provisioning. Providing customer support is a function of customer service teams, unrelated to resource management. Managing compliance certifications is a regulatory focus and does not reflect the infrastructure automation capabilities offered by Resource Manager.
