Question: 1
A financial firm is designing an application architecture for its online trading platform that should
have high availability and fault tolerance. What should the architect do to avoid any costly service
disruptions and ensure data durability?
A. Create a new Object Storage bucket in another region and configure recycle policy to move data
every 5 days.
B. Create a replication policy to send data to a different bucket in another OCI region.
C. Create a lifecycle policy to regularly send data from the Standard to Archive storage.
D. Copy the Object Storage bucket to a block volume.
Answer: B
Explanation:
For an online trading platform requiring high availability and fault tolerance, it's critical to ensure
data durability and avoid any costly service disruptions. In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Object
Storage is often used to store critical data, such as transaction logs or user data, due to its scalability,
durability, and reliability.
Option B is the most suitable approach for ensuring data durability and availability across regions.
Here's why:
Cross-Region Replication (CRR): OCI offers a feature called Cross-Region Replication for Object
Storage. This feature allows you to automatically and asynchronously replicate objects in a bucket
from one OCI region to another. This setup ensures that even if one region experiences a failure, the
data is still available in another region, thereby meeting the requirements for high availability and
fault tolerance.
Data Durability: By replicating data to another region, you protect against regional outages. OCI
guarantees 99.95% availability for replicated data, which is critical for a financial firm's trading
platform where data consistency and durability are paramount.
Disaster Recovery: With data replicated in another region, the trading platform can quickly switch to
using the data in the secondary region in case of a disaster in the primary region. This setup
significantly reduces recovery time objectives (RTO) and ensures business continuity.

Oracle Whitepaper: High Availability and Disaster Recovery in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
Option A: Creating a new Object Storage bucket in another region and configuring a recycle policy to
move data every 5 days does not provide real-time data availability or the fault tolerance required for
a financial application. Recycle policies are intended for managing the lifecycle of data, not for high
availability or disaster recovery.

Option C: While lifecycle policies are useful for moving less frequently accessed data to a more cost-
effective storage tier (e.g., from Standard to Archive), they do not address cross-region redundancy
or real-time availability, which are critical for this use case.
Option D: Copying an Object Storage bucket to a block volume is not a recommended practice for
ensuring data durability and fault tolerance. Block volumes are used for persistent storage attached
to compute instances, and copying object storage data to block volumes does not achieve the same
level of redundancy and cross-region availability as replication policies.
Thus, Option B is the correct and most efficient method for ensuring high availability and fault
tolerance in this scenario.
Question: 2
Which TWO statements are TRUE about Private IP addresses in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)?
A. By default, the primary VNIC of an instance in a subnet has one primary private IP address and one
secondary private IP address.
B. Each VNIC can only have one private IP address.
C. By default, the primary VNIC of an instance in a subnet has one primary private IP address.
D. A private IP can have an optional public IP assigned to it if it resides in a public subnet.
Answer: C, D
Explanation:
In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), understanding how private IP addresses work is crucial for
configuring network interfaces and managing instances within your Virtual Cloud Network (VCN).
Primary VNIC and Private IP Address:
When an instance is launched in OCI, it is attached to a Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC). The
primary VNIC, which is automatically created during the instance launch, is associated with a primary
private IP address by default. This private IP address is essential for the instance to communicate
within the VCN. The primary private IP address is automatically assigned and cannot be removed
from the primary VNIC while the instance is running. This supports the statement C.
Additional Private IPs:
Contrary to statement B, each VNIC can indeed have multiple private IP addresses, but by default,
the primary VNIC comes with only one primary private IP. You can manually add secondary private
IPs if needed. However, the additional IPs are not assigned by default; hence, A is incorrect.
Public IP Association:
For instances requiring internet access, a public IP address can be optionally assigned to the private
IP address if the instance is in a public subnet. This is critical for scenarios where an instance needs to
communicate with the internet or external networks. This aligns with statement D.

and clarify the correct statements.

Question: 3
What happens to the performance level of a volume when it is detached from an instance?
A. The performance level is adjusted to Balanced.
B. The performance level remains unchanged.
C. The performance level is adjusted to Higher Performance.
D. The performance level is adjusted to Lower Cost (0 VPUs/GB).
Answer: D
Explanation:
In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), when a block volume is detached from an instance, its
performance level is automatically adjusted to the "Lower Cost" tier, which provides 0 VPUs (Volume
Performance Units) per GB. This adjustment helps reduce costs when the block volume is not actively
being used by a compute instance.
Key Points:
Volume Performance Levels: OCI offers various performance tiers for block volumes, including
"Higher Performance," "Balanced," and "Lower Cost." These tiers determine the level of IOPS
(Input/Output Operations Per Second) and throughput available to the volume.
Automatic Adjustment: When a block volume is detached from an instance, OCI automatically
optimizes the cost by switching the volume to the "Lower Cost" performance tier. This tier offers
minimal performance, suitable for data that is not actively accessed.
Cost Management: This automatic adjustment is beneficial for managing costs, as it prevents users
from incurring unnecessary charges for higher performance levels when the volume is not in use.

Question: 4
Which compute capacity type would you select to meet these requirements?
A. Capacity reservation
B. Preemptible capacity
C. On-demand capacity
D. Dedicated host
Answer: C
Explanation:
On-demand capacity is the compute capacity type in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that allows
Questions & Answers PDF Page 5
you to provision and use compute instances whenever needed, without any long-term commitment.
This flexibility is ideal for various workloads, including development, testing, and production
environments, where immediate availability and scalability are crucial.
Key Points:
On-Demand Capacity: On-demand compute instances provide users with the flexibility to spin up
instances as required and only pay for the time the instances are running. This model is most suitable
for workloads with unpredictable usage patterns or short-term requirements.
Flexibility and Scalability: With on-demand capacity, you can quickly scale your resources up or down
based on your application's needs, ensuring that you only pay for the resources you actually use.
No Commitment: Unlike reserved capacity, on-demand capacity does not require any long-term
commitment or upfront payment, making it an attractive option for organizations looking to avoid
capital expenditures.
Reference:
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation: OCI Compute Pricing
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation: Compute Instance Lifecycle
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
A . Capacity reservation: This option allows you to reserve capacity in advance, ensuring that
resources are available when needed. It's ideal for predictable workloads but may not be as cost-
effective for fluctuating demands.
B . Preemptible capacity: Preemptible instances are a lower-cost option where instances can be
terminated by OCI if resources are needed elsewhere. This is suitable for non-critical workloads that
can tolerate interruptions.
D . Dedicated host: Dedicated hosts provide physical servers for your exclusive use, offering isolation
and predictable performance. This option is more suitable for workloads requiring dedicated
resources or compliance needs.
Thus, Option C: On-demand capacity is the correct choice for most general-purpose workloads
needing flexibility and immediate availability without long-term commitment.
Question: 5
Which TWO options will accomplish a fully redundant connection from an on-premises data center to
a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) in the us-ashburn-1 region?
A. Configure a Site-to-Site VPN from a single on-premises CPE.
B. Configure two FastConnect virtual circuits to the us-ashburn-1 region and terminate them in
diverse hardware on-premises.
C. Configure one FastConnect virtual circuit to the us-ashburn-1 region and the second FastConnect
virtual circuit to the us-phoenix-1 region.
D. Configure one FastConnect virtual circuit to the us-ashburn-1 region and a Site-to-Site VPN to the
us-ashburn-1 region.
Answer: B, D
Explanation:
For a fully redundant connection from an on-premises data center to a VCN in the OCI us-ashburn-1
Questions & Answers PDF Page 6
region, it is important to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. Here's how each option
contributes to redundancy:
Option B: Two FastConnect Virtual Circuits:
FastConnect provides a dedicated, private connection with higher bandwidth and more consistent
performance compared to a VPN. To achieve redundancy, you can configure two FastConnect circuits
in the same region (us-ashburn-1), each terminated on diverse hardware on-premises. This setup
ensures that even if one circuit or its associated hardware fails, the other circuit can maintain the
connection. This ensures no single point of failure in the connectivity to OCI. Thus, option B is
correct.
Option D: FastConnect and Site-to-Site VPN:
Another approach to redundancy is to have a mix of connection types. By setting up one FastConnect
circuit and one Site-to-Site VPN, both terminating in the same region (us-ashburn-1), you create a
diverse connection path. If the FastConnect connection fails, traffic can automatically route through
the VPN connection, maintaining connectivity. This setup adds an extra layer of redundancy, making
option D correct as well.
Incorrect Options:
Option A: Only configuring a Site-to-Site VPN from a single on-premises CPE does not provide
redundancy because it involves just one connection path. If that connection or the CPE fails, there
would be no fallback.
Option C: Configuring FastConnect circuits to different regions (us-ashburn-1 and us-phoenix-1) does
not provide redundancy within a single region but rather across regions, which is not required for
regional redundancy.
