The correct answer is: "Edit the tenancy global retention policy." To ensure that container images never get deleted from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry (OCIR), you should edit the tenancy global retention policy. The tenancy global retention policy is a setting that determines the retention behavior for all the images in the OCIR across the entire tenancy. By editing this policy, you can define the retention behavior that suits your requirements. To edit the tenancy global retention policy, you would typically perform the following steps: Access the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console and navigate to the OCIR service. Go to the "Policies" section or "Settings" section in the OCIR service. Locate the tenancy global retention policy settings. Modify the retention policy to specify the desired retention behavior. In this case, you would set the policy to retain all images, ensuring they are never deleted from the repository. By setting the global policy of image retention to "Retain All Images," you can ensure that the container images in your OCIR repository are permanently retained and not subject to deletion based on any default or automatic retention rules. The other options mentioned are not directly related to ensuring that container images are never deleted from the repository: Creating a group and assigning a policy to perform lifecycle operations on images or writing a policy to limit access to the specific repository in your compartment are access control measures and do not address the retention of images. Setting the global policy of image retention to "Retain All Images" is the correct action to achieve the desired outcome of preventing image deletion from the repository.
