1Z0-1067-25 Question 53
Select 3You manage a multi-compartment e-commerce environment in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that experiences unpredictable traffic spikes during promotional events. Your monthly cloud bill is consistently higher than planned, and usage reports show many resources remain idle when demand is low. Which three cost optimization strategies should you implement to efficiently handle fluctuations and reduce expenses?
- A
Enable autoscaling on compute resources to adjust capacity based on demand.
- B
Implement budgets and usage alerts in each compartment to track costs and send notifications when thresholds are crossed.
- C
Migrate all persistent data to ephemeral local storage for cost savings.
- D
Use flexible shapes or right-size over-provisioned instances based on actual workloads.
- E
Purchase the largest shape reservations for all compartments to maximize coverage.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
OCI provides several built-in cost optimization features. Autoscaling adjusts resources automatically, preventing over-allocation. Cost tracking tools like budgets and usage alerts help monitor spend in real-time and send notifications when limits are reached. Right-sizing or using flexible shapes reduces waste by aligning resources with actual usage. For more details, refer to Oracle� official documentation on cost management best practices in OCI.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Autoscaling helps match your resource usage to actual demand, scaling down when demand is low and reducing costs on idle resources.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Budgets and usage alerts let you closely track spending, receive early warnings, and take proactive steps if costs rise unexpectedly.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Ephemeral local storage is not recommended for persistent data. It� wiped upon instance termination or failure, risking data loss and potential recovery costs.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Flexible shapes allow you to tailor CPU and memory configurations to workload needs, while right-sizing ensures compute resources aren�t over-provisioned.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Purchasing the largest shape reservations for every workload could lead to paying for capacity you don�t use, which undermines cost optimization.
