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

Your development team is implementing a CI/CD pipeline in OCI DevOps. They need to ensure that build artifacts are automatically versioned and stored securely before deployment. The artifacts must be scanned for vulnerabilities and only promoted to production if they pass security checks. Which combination of OCI services best supports this requirement?

A DevOps engineer is designing a build pipeline that compiles code from multiple repositories, runs parallel unit tests, and creates container images. The build process frequently fails due to resource constraints during peak hours. What is the most effective approach to optimize build performance and reliability?

Your organization uses Terraform to manage OCI infrastructure. A team member accidentally deleted critical resource definitions from the Terraform state file. The actual OCI resources still exist and are running in production. What is the best approach to recover from this situation without disrupting the running resources?

An application deployed through OCI DevOps is experiencing intermittent performance issues. You need to correlate deployment events with application performance metrics and error rates. The solution should provide automated insights and alert the team when deployments cause degradation. Which monitoring approach best achieves this requirement?

Your team manages multiple microservices deployed across development, staging, and production environments in OCI. Each environment requires different configuration values for database connections, API endpoints, and feature flags. What is the most secure and maintainable approach to manage these configurations in your DevOps pipeline?

A company is implementing blue-green deployment for a stateful application with a backend database. During the deployment, both blue and green environments need to access the same database, but schema changes must be backward compatible. Which deployment strategy best ensures zero-downtime deployment while maintaining data consistency?

Your organization wants to implement automated infrastructure provisioning where developers can request pre-configured environments through a self-service portal. The solution must enforce company security policies, track resource usage by team, and automatically decommission environments after 30 days. Which combination of OCI services and practices best implements this requirement?

An application's build pipeline includes static code analysis, security scanning, and compliance checks. The team wants to fail the build if critical vulnerabilities are detected but only warn on medium-severity issues. Build results and scan reports must be stored for audit purposes. How should this be implemented in OCI DevOps?

Your team has deployed microservices using OCI DevOps and needs to troubleshoot a complex issue where requests are failing intermittently across multiple services. The services are instrumented but logs are scattered across different sources. What is the most efficient approach to diagnose the root cause?

A development team uses OCI Resource Manager to deploy infrastructure defined in Terraform. They need to implement a workflow where infrastructure changes are reviewed and approved before being applied to production, while allowing immediate deployment to development environments. What is the best approach to implement this requirement?
