Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Professional Sample Questions:
An upcoming e-commerce company has deployed their online shopping application on OCI. The application was deployed on compute instances with autoscaling configuration for application servers fronted by a load balancer and OCI Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) in the backend.
In order to promote their e-commerce platform 50% discount was announced on all the products for a limited period. During the day 1 of promotional period it was observed that the application is running slow and company's hotline is flooded with complaints.
What could be two possible reasons for this situation?
- A. The health check on some of the backend servers has failed and the load balancer was rebooting these servers.
- B. As part of autoscaling, the load balancer shape has dynamically changed to a larger shape to handle more incoming traffic and the system was slow for a short time during this change
- C. The autoscaling has already scaled to the maximum number of instances specified in the configuration and there is no room of scaling
- D. The health check on some of the backend servers has failed and the load balancer has taken those servers temporarily out of rotation
Correct Answer: C,D 🗳️
Give this compartment structure:
You want to move a compute instance that is in 'Compute' compartment to 'SysTes-Team'.
You login to your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)account and use the 'Move Resource' option.
What will happen when you attempt moving the compute resource?
- A. The move will be successful though Compute Instance Public and Private IP address changed, and it will be associated to the VCN in target compartment.
- B. The move will be successful though Compute Instance and its Public and Private IP address will stay the same. The Compute instance VNIC will still be associated with the original VCN.
- C. The move will be successful though Compute Instance and its Public and Private IP address will stay the same. The Compute instance VNIC will need to be moved separately. The Compute instance will still be associated with the original VCN.
- D. The move will fail and you will be prompted to move the VCN first. Once VCN is moved to the target compartment, the Compute instance can be moved.

You work for a German company as the Lead Oracle Cloud Infrastructure architect. You have designed a highly scalable architecture for your company's business critical application which uses the Load Balancer service auto which uses the Load Balancer service, autoscaling configuration for the application servers and a 2 Node VM Oracle RAC database. During the peak utilization period of the- application yon notice that the application is running slow and customers are complaining. This is resulting in support tickets being created for API timeouts and negative sentiment from the customer base.
What are two possible reasons for this application slowness?
- A. Autoscaling configuration for the application servers didn't happen due to compartment quota breach of the VM shapes used by the application servers.
- B. The Load Balancer configuration is not sending traffic to the listener of the application servers.
- C. Autoscaling configuration for the application servers didn't happen due to service limit breach of the VM shapes used by the application servers
- D. Autoscaling configuration for the application servers didn't happen due to IAM policy that's blocking access to the application server compartment
- E. The Load Balancer doesn't have a Network Security Group to allow traffic to the application servers.
