What is a common use of compartments in OCI?

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), compartments serve a vital role in enhancing resource management by providing a means for resource isolation and organization. Compartmentalization allows users to group related resources according to their organizational structure, projects, or environments (e.g., development, testing, production). This structured approach facilitates policy application, permissions management, and easier navigation through resources.

By assigning resources to specific compartments, organizations can ensure that teams or projects have access only to relevant resources, promoting secure access control measures. This structure also streamlines billing and resource tracking by distinguishing between various departments or teams within the cloud environment. Therefore, using compartments effectively helps maintain a clean, organized cloud architecture that aligns with best practices for both security and operational efficiency.
