Which statement is NOT true for OCI compartments?

The statement regarding resource cloning within a compartment is not true because, in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), resources are not designed to be cloned within a compartment. While you can create new resources in a compartment, duplicating existing resources does not happen directly by cloning; you would typically have to manually create the resource again. Cloning implies a straightforward replication process, which OCI does not support directly for all types of resources.

On the other hand, the other statements accurately reflect the characteristics of OCI compartments. Resources and compartments can indeed be created or deleted at any time, allowing flexibility in organization and management. While compartments serve as logical groupings for resources, they cannot be nested, meaning one compartment cannot contain another. Lastly, each OCI resource is distinctly associated with a single compartment, establishing clear ownership and access control for those resources within the architecture of OCI.
