Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 Architect Associate Intermediate Practice Exam: Medium Difficulty 2025

Your organization has multiple departments that need isolated access to OCI resources. The Finance department should only manage resources in their compartment, while the HR department should only read resources in theirs. Security policy requires that no user can delete compartments. How should you configure IAM to meet these requirements?

A company is designing a hybrid cloud architecture where their on-premises data center needs to connect to OCI with predictable network performance and low latency. They require a dedicated connection with bandwidth of 5 Gbps and cannot use the public internet for security reasons. Which connectivity solution should they implement?

Your application runs on a compute instance and experiences variable load throughout the day, with traffic spikes during business hours. You want to automatically scale the number of instances based on CPU utilization while ensuring high availability across fault domains. The application is stateless. What is the most appropriate OCI solution?

A development team needs to provide temporary access to an Object Storage bucket for external contractors to upload large files for a 2-week project. The contractors should not have OCI user accounts, and access should automatically expire. Which approach provides the most secure and appropriate solution?

Your company is migrating a production web application to OCI that requires routing traffic across multiple availability domains within a region. The application uses both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, needs SSL termination, and requires session persistence based on application cookies. Which load balancing solution should you implement?

An e-commerce application requires a database that can handle unpredictable workloads with automatic scaling, minimal administration, and the ability to scale down during off-peak hours to reduce costs. The application uses standard SQL queries. Which OCI database service best meets these requirements?

Your application requires block storage for a database workload with consistent low latency and high IOPS performance. The storage must support backups without impacting production performance. Which combination of OCI Block Volume features should you implement?

A financial services company needs to ensure that all API calls and administrative actions in their OCI tenancy are logged for compliance auditing. They need to retain these logs for 7 years and want to detect unusual administrative activities in real-time. What combination of OCI services should they use?

Your application architecture includes compute instances in a private subnet that need to access OCI Object Storage and other Oracle Services without traversing the internet. Additionally, some instances need to download software packages from external repositories on the internet. How should you configure the network?

Your organization runs a batch processing application on compute instances that processes large datasets overnight. The application can tolerate interruptions and resume from checkpoints. You want to optimize costs while maintaining acceptable performance. Which compute option should you choose?
