Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 Cloud Operations Professional Practice Exam 2025: Latest Questions

You manage several OCI compute instances for an application tier. The operations team needs to be alerted when any instance becomes unreachable (instance status check fails) for more than 5 minutes. Which OCI capability is the best fit?

A security team asks for a record of all API calls that change network security list rules in a compartment. Which OCI service should you use to retrieve this information?

Your finance team wants to ensure the development compartment cannot exceed a monthly spend threshold and wants automated notifications as the spend approaches the limit. Which approach is recommended in OCI?

An operations engineer needs to run the same CLI-based diagnostic commands across a fleet of Linux instances without opening inbound SSH to the internet. Which OCI service is best suited for this task?

A team reports that a new instance in a private subnet cannot reach Object Storage endpoints. The VCN has no NAT Gateway, and the team does not want the instance to have public IP access. Which change is most appropriate?

You need to automatically remediate a common operational issue: when a specific alarm triggers (high error rate on a load balancer backend set), you want to run a script that updates the backend set configuration and posts the outcome to a Slack webhook. Which design best matches OCI native automation patterns?

A cloud operations lead wants to enforce consistent cost allocation across all new resources. They require that every resource created in a compartment automatically receives a required cost-center tag key with an allowed list of values. What is the best OCI approach?

A compliance auditor requests evidence that object data stored in Object Storage is encrypted and that access to the buckets is controlled by least privilege. Which combination of OCI features best addresses this request?

A production application uses multiple compartments and relies on dynamic groups for instance principals. After a reorganization, several instances can no longer call the OCI API to write logs to a centralized Logging service in a different compartment. The dynamic group rules still match the instances. What is the most likely cause and the best fix?

You are tasked with building an operations model to reduce MTTR. Requirements: (1) centralize logs from multiple compartments, (2) detect specific error patterns in near real time, and (3) automatically open a ticket in an external ITSM system when patterns occur. Which OCI architecture best fits these requirements with minimal custom infrastructure?

An operations engineer needs to be alerted when a Linux compute instance becomes unreachable over the network. Which OCI feature is the best fit to detect this condition and trigger an alarm?

A team wants all resource costs to be consistently attributed to applications and environments across multiple compartments. Which approach is most aligned with OCI best practices for cost allocation?

An administrator wants to ensure operators can view metrics and logs across the tenancy but cannot create, update, or delete any resources. Which IAM construct is the MOST appropriate?

A company runs periodic automation that must call OCI APIs without storing long-lived user credentials. The automation runs on compute instances in OCI. What is the recommended authentication approach?

A production workload experienced a spike in egress and the finance team asks for the primary drivers by compartment and tag. Which OCI capability best supports this analysis without exporting data to external tools?

A compliance requirement states that all Object Storage buckets must be private and must not allow public access. The organization wants continuous detection and notification when a bucket becomes public. Which OCI service is best suited to detect this configuration drift?

A team needs to centralize logs from many compartments and send them to Object Storage for long-term retention. They want a managed, scalable approach without running custom scripts. What should they implement?

After enabling VCN Flow Logs, an engineer cannot find any flow log records for a specific subnet. The subnet has active traffic. Which is the MOST likely cause?

A company wants to enforce that only approved OCI regions can be used to create resources. They need a governance control that prevents resource creation in non-approved regions at the tenancy level. What is the BEST solution?

You manage a fleet of compute instances across multiple compartments. You need an automated way to apply the same configuration changes (for example, install a package and update a config file) with run-once and repeatable execution, while capturing execution output for troubleshooting. Which approach best meets these requirements using OCI-native capabilities?

Your organization wants to prevent developers from accidentally creating internet-facing resources. Specifically, they must not be able to create an Internet Gateway in any compartment except a dedicated shared-network compartment managed by the networking team. What is the BEST way to enforce this in OCI?

An operations team wants to be alerted when any Compute instance in a production compartment exceeds 80% CPU utilization for 10 minutes. They also want the alert to automatically open a ticket through an external system via HTTPS. Which OCI approach best meets this requirement?

A finance team needs to allocate shared OCI costs to internal departments. The same resources are used by multiple teams across compartments, and the allocation must be based on business metadata rather than only compartment structure. What is the MOST appropriate solution?

A critical application uses multiple Compute instances in an instance pool behind a public load balancer. Users report intermittent timeouts. You confirm the instances are healthy, but the load balancer backend health checks occasionally fail during deployments that restart the application process. What is the BEST operational change to reduce user impact during deployments?

You manage a fleet of instances across multiple compartments. A security requirement states that any instance with a public IP must have the OCI Bastion service used for administrative access, and direct SSH/RDP from the internet must be prevented. Which design BEST satisfies this requirement while keeping operations manageable?
