EM 24ai (24.1.0.0) image on OCI Marketplace supports both single-node (collapsed install) and multi-node configurations using an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Resource Manager Stack.  The use of the OCI Resource Manager Stack allows you to deploy both EM and its underlying infrastructure in a variety of shapes and sizes and eliminates the need for pre-requisite steps.  An easy-to-follow workflow allows you to quickly deploy Enterprise Manager with separation of the Oracle Management Server (OMS) and OMR and load balance it across multiple OMSs.  Refer to Figure 3 for the single node EM deployment architecture on a Private subnet with Bastion host.
