Which of the following techniques is NOT used to optimize cloud costs in Oracle Cloud Cost Management?

Increasing resource allocation is not typically considered a technique to optimize cloud costs. In fact, optimizing costs usually involves reducing or managing resource allocations more effectively. Rightsizing resources ensures that you are using the appropriate size and type of resources for your needs, which can help avoid over-provisioning. Scheduling workloads allows you to run workloads during off-peak hours to take advantage of lower costs. Setting budgets helps organizations monitor and control their spending, ensuring that they remain within financial limits. Each of these methods focuses on managing and reducing costs rather than increasing them, which is why increasing resource allocation does not align with cost optimization strategies in cloud environments.
