Which action must be taken prior to registering an Oracle Linux server with Azure Arc?

For registering an Oracle Linux server with Azure Arc, the execution of the registration script is an essential action. This script is specifically designed to facilitate the connection between your Oracle Linux server and Azure Arc, allowing the server to be managed through the Azure platform effectively. It typically includes commands to configure the necessary components on the server, set up communication channels, and establish the required framework for Azure Arc to monitor and manage the server.

While installing the Azure CLI, ensuring network connectivity, and updating the operating system are important preparatory steps in managing cloud resources or ensuring compliant and secure environments, they do not directly pertain to the registration process itself. The registration script contains the necessary configurations that enable Azure Arc to recognize and manage the Oracle Linux server, making it a mandatory action before completing the registration process.
