## OCI Foundations (1Z0-1085) Exam - Condensed Study Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------
### Purpose
This document provides a summary of the core concepts required to pass the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Foundations A
---
### Module 1: Core Cloud Concepts
**1. Service Models:**
- **IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service):** You manage the OS, middleware, and applications. The cloud provider manages the
- **PaaS (Platform as a Service):** You manage the application. The cloud provider manages the OS, middleware, and hardw
- **SaaS (Software as a Service):** You just use the software. The provider manages everything. (e.g., Oracle Fusion ERP C
**2. Deployment Models:**
- **Public Cloud:** Services are offered over the public internet and available to anyone.
- **Private Cloud:** Cloud infrastructure operated solely for a single organization.
- **Hybrid Cloud:** A mix of public and private clouds, bound together by technology that allows data and applications to b
**3. Financial Models:**
- **CapEx (Capital Expenditure):** Paying upfront for physical infrastructure.
- **OpEx (Operational Expenditure):** Paying for services as you use them (the cloud model).

### Module 2: OCI Architecture and Core Services
**1. Global Infrastructure:**
- **Region:** A localized geographic area (e.g., `us-ashburn-1`). A region is composed of one or more Availability Domains
- **Availability Domain (AD):** One or more fault-tolerant data centers located within a region, but isolated from each othe
- **Fault Domain (FD):** A grouping of hardware within an AD. Each AD has 3 Fault Domains. Used to protect against har
**2. Core OCI Services:**
- **Compute:**
- **Bare Metal:** A dedicated physical server.
- **Virtual Machine (VM):** A standard virtualized server running on shared hardware.
- **Storage:**
- **Block Volume:** A "virtual hard drive" for your compute instances.
- **Object Storage:** An internet-scale storage platform for unstructured data (images, backups, logs).
- **File Storage:** A shared file system that can be accessed by multiple compute instances.
- **Networking:**
- **Virtual Cloud Network (VCN):** Your private network in the cloud.
- **Subnet:** A subdivision of your VCN. Can be public (with an Internet Gateway) or private.
- **Load Balancer:** Distributes traffic across multiple servers.
---
### Module 3: Security and Compliance
**1. Identity and Access Management (IAM):**
- **Users:** Individual people who need to access OCI resources.
- **Groups:** A collection of users. Permissions are granted to groups, not individual users.
- **Policies:** The rules that grant permissions. A policy statement has the format: `Allow group <group_name> to <verb> <
- **Compartments:** A way to organize and isolate your cloud resources (like folders).
**2. Network Security:**
- **Security List:** A set of firewall rules for all resources in a given subnet.
- **Network Security Group (NSG):** A set of firewall rules that you can apply to specific resources (VNICs), regardless of
---
### Module 4: OCI Pricing, Billing, and Support
**1. Pricing Models:**
- **Pay As You Go (PAYG):** You are billed monthly for only the resources you use.
- **Universal Credits (Annual Flex):** You commit to a certain amount of annual spending and receive a discount.
**2. Cost Management:**
- **Cost Analysis:** A tool in the OCI console to visualize and analyze your spending.
- **Budgets:** Set spending thresholds on your compartments and receive alerts when costs exceed the budget.
**3. Support:**
- OCI provides support plans with different levels of response time and access to support engineers.
- You can create a Support Request (SR) directly from the OCI console.

### Final Exam Tips:
- Remember the "Shared Responsibility Model": Understand what you are responsible for vs. what Oracle is responsible for in
- Memorize the core components of the OCI infrastructure (Region, AD, FD).
- Be able to write or interpret a simple IAM policy.
- Know the difference between a Security List and a Network Security Group.
