A company wants to launch a compute instance in OCI that requires consistent high performance and dedicated physical resources. The workload is latency-sensitive and cannot tolerate any performance variation from other tenants. Which compute option should they choose?

An architect is designing a solution that requires launching multiple compute instances with identical configurations across different availability domains for high availability. What is the MOST efficient approach to achieve this in OCI?

A development team needs to launch compute instances that can be terminated at any time to reduce costs. The application is designed to handle interruptions gracefully and can checkpoint its work. The team wants to minimize compute costs. Which instance type should they use?

An organization needs to resize a running VM instance to a different shape due to increased workload demands. The instance has a boot volume and multiple attached block volumes. What is the correct procedure to change the instance shape?

A company is running an Oracle Database workload that requires maximum IOPS performance and the lowest possible latency for storage. The database experiences heavy random read/write operations. Which storage option provides the best performance for this use case?

An architect needs to design a storage solution for long-term retention of backup data that is rarely accessed but must be retained for compliance purposes for 7 years. Cost optimization is the primary concern. Which OCI storage service and tier combination is MOST appropriate?

A development team needs shared file storage that can be concurrently accessed by multiple compute instances running a content management system. The solution must support standard file system protocols. Which OCI storage service should be used?

An organization has a Block Volume that contains critical data and needs to create a point-in-time copy that can be used to restore the data if needed. The copy should not impact the performance of the source volume. What is the recommended approach?

A company is migrating a multi-tier application to OCI and needs to design a VCN architecture. The application has web servers that need internet access, application servers that should only communicate with web and database tiers, and database servers that should have no internet access. How should the security architect design the subnet structure?

An organization needs to connect their on-premises data center to OCI with a private, dedicated connection that bypasses the public internet. The connection requires predictable network performance and bandwidth. Which OCI networking service should they use?

A company has compute instances in a private subnet that need to download security patches and software updates from the internet, but the instances should not be directly accessible from the internet. What is the correct networking configuration?

An architect is designing a highly available web application that must distribute traffic across multiple web servers in different availability domains. The solution should perform health checks and route traffic only to healthy instances. Which OCI service should be used?

A company needs to establish connectivity between two VCNs in the same region to allow resources to communicate using private IP addresses. The VCNs have non-overlapping CIDR blocks. What is the MOST appropriate method to establish this connectivity?

An enterprise application running in OCI needs to access Oracle Cloud services such as Object Storage and Autonomous Database without traffic traversing the internet. The solution should use the Oracle services network backbone. Which component should be configured?

A company is deploying Oracle Autonomous Database and needs to choose between Shared Infrastructure and Dedicated Infrastructure. The organization has strict compliance requirements that mandate workload isolation and complete control over database maintenance windows. Which deployment option should they choose?

An organization is running Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and needs to implement a disaster recovery solution across regions with minimal data loss (RPO near zero) and fast failover capability. Which OCI database service and configuration provides the BEST solution?

A development team needs a database for a new application with unpredictable workload patterns. They want to minimize administrative overhead and only pay for actual compute and storage consumed. The database should automatically scale up during peak loads and down during idle periods. Which database service is MOST appropriate?

An application requires an Oracle Database with the highest IOPS performance and lowest latency for OLTP workloads. The database will experience extremely high transaction volumes. Which OCI database deployment option provides the BEST performance?

A company needs to migrate an existing Oracle Database from on-premises to OCI. The database is 8TB in size, and they need minimal downtime during the migration. They want to keep the database synchronized with on-premises during the migration window. What is the MOST effective approach?

An architect is designing a cloud solution following the principle of defense in depth. The application consists of web servers, application servers, and database servers. Which combination of OCI security controls represents BEST practices for this architecture?
