So OCI compute service provides you virtual machines and bare metal servers to meet your compute and application requirements. The three defining characteristics of this service include this scalability, high performance and lower pricing. In the next few slides, I will talk about each of these in a bit more detail. So the first thing in the OCI compute service is you have this notion of flexible shape. What does it mean?
