A financial services company is designing their OCI architecture and needs to ensure that their production database servers in one availability domain cannot be accessed directly from the internet, but their web servers in another availability domain need internet access. Which combination of OCI networking components would best achieve this requirement?

Your organization has multiple departments using OCI resources. The security team requires that each department can only manage their own resources and view costs separately. You need to implement a solution that enforces this separation. Which OCI feature combination should you implement?

A development team is running multiple compute instances for testing purposes. To optimize costs, they want instances to automatically shut down during non-business hours (8 PM to 6 AM on weekdays) and remain off during weekends. Which OCI service would most efficiently accomplish this requirement?

An e-commerce application running on OCI experiences variable traffic with significant spikes during promotional events. The application runs on compute instances behind a Load Balancer. Which combination of OCI features would provide the best solution for handling traffic variations while optimizing costs?

Your company is migrating a critical Oracle Database to OCI and requires a recovery time objective (RTO) of less than 1 hour and recovery point objective (RPO) of near-zero for disaster recovery. The database must be protected against regional failures. Which OCI Database service configuration would best meet these requirements?

A cloud architect needs to design a monitoring solution for an application deployed across multiple compartments in OCI. The solution must aggregate logs from compute instances, detect specific error patterns, and send notifications to the operations team. Which combination of OCI services would accomplish this?

An organization wants to implement a principle of least privilege access model where developers can create and manage compute instances in their development compartment but cannot delete or modify networking resources. Which IAM policy statement would correctly implement this requirement?

A company is planning their OCI deployment and needs to understand their expected monthly costs before provisioning resources. They want to explore different configuration scenarios for compute, storage, and database services. Which OCI tool should they use for this purpose?

Your application requires object storage for user-uploaded files that are frequently accessed for the first 30 days, occasionally accessed between 30-90 days, and rarely accessed after 90 days. The files must be retained for 7 years for compliance. Which OCI Object Storage configuration would optimize costs while meeting requirements?

A healthcare organization needs to ensure their OCI environment meets compliance requirements. They need to track all API calls made to OCI resources, including who made the call, when it was made, and what action was performed. Which OCI service provides this capability, and where is this data stored by default?
