Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 Cloud Operations Professional Intermediate Practice Exam: Medium Difficulty 2025

Your organization is experiencing performance issues with a critical application running on OCI Compute instances. You need to identify whether CPU, memory, or disk I/O is the bottleneck. You have enabled monitoring but need to analyze historical performance data from the past 7 days with 1-minute resolution. Which combination of OCI services should you use?

A development team is consuming significant OCI resources across multiple compartments. Management wants to track spending by project and automatically receive alerts when monthly costs exceed $5,000 for any project. What is the most effective approach to implement this requirement?

Your company needs to automate the process of scaling a fleet of web servers based on custom application metrics (active user sessions) rather than standard CPU utilization. The scaling should occur during business hours only. Which OCI services and approach should you implement?

An organization must ensure that all OCI resources are created only in specific approved regions (US-East and US-West) and that no one can launch expensive GPU-based compute shapes without explicit approval. What governance approach should be implemented?

Your team manages a multi-tier application in OCI. You need to implement a monitoring solution that provides automated anomaly detection, correlates issues across multiple resources, and sends consolidated alerts to reduce alert fatigue. Which OCI service configuration best meets these requirements?

A company has multiple development teams using OCI, and cloud costs have grown by 40% in the last quarter. Analysis shows that developers frequently forget to terminate test environments after hours. What combination of cost optimization strategies would be most effective?

Your organization needs to automate the deployment of a complete application stack (networking, compute, database, and load balancer) across multiple environments with environment-specific configurations. The solution must support rollback capabilities and maintain infrastructure state. Which approach should you implement?

A financial services company must maintain audit trails of all administrative actions in OCI for compliance purposes. The audit data must be retained for 7 years, be tamper-proof, and regularly reviewed for suspicious activities. What solution should be implemented?

Your application's OCI Monitoring dashboard shows consistently high CPU utilization (85-95%) on your compute instances, but response times are acceptable. You want to optimize costs without impacting performance. What analysis and action should you take?

A company runs batch processing jobs on OCI that execute nightly between 2 AM and 6 AM and require 20 compute instances. The jobs are fault-tolerant and can handle interruptions. The company wants to minimize costs while ensuring jobs complete within the 4-hour window. What compute strategy should they use?
