After terminating a FAW instance in OCI, can you recover it?

• A. You can recover a terminated instance from backup
• B. You can recover a terminated instance from the recycle bin
• C. You cannot recover a terminated instance; you will have to re-create your instance and restore it
• D. You can recover by cloning from another region

Answer: (C)

Terminating a Fusion Analytics Warehouse (FAW) instance in OCI is a destructive action for the managed service. Once the FAW instance is terminated, there isn’t a built-in recovery path to revert to the exact previous instance through the Recycle Bin or a simple one-click restore. To regain functionality, you must recreate a new FAW instance and then restore data from backups you prepared beforehand. Cloning from another region isn’t an automatic recovery of the terminated environment, and without backups, the data would be lost. The practical takeaway is to plan and implement backups so you can restore data after recreating the FAW environment.
