1Z0-1067-25 Question 61
Single answerYour organization uses separate compartments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for multiple projects. The finance team wants to track spending and receive alerts when monthly costs reach certain thresholds. Simultaneously, the DevOps team needs to prevent provisioning more than a fixed number of compute instances in each compartment. Which approach should you implement to meet both the cost monitoring and resource usage requirements?
- A
Create a budget in the root compartment to send alerts at defined cost thresholds, and set compartment quotas to limit the maximum number of compute instances per compartment.
- B
Enable tagging on all resources and rely exclusively on weekly billing reports to notify teams of cost overruns and resource usage limits.
- C
Use cost tracking tags and set a single budget for all compartments, then rely on email notifications to inform administrators when instance creation surpasses a set number.
- D
Create multiple budgets across all compartments to disable resource provisioning when spending exceeds the budget, without configuring compartment quotas.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To control spending and limit resource usage in OCI, you should use budgets to set cost thresholds with associated alerts and use compartment quotas to enforce maximum resource creation. Budgets provide notifications when spending approaches or exceeds a set amount, while compartment quotas strictly limit how many resources can be provisioned in a given compartment. Refer to the OCI documentation on managing budgets and compartment quotas for more information.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Creating a budget in the root compartment ensures you can monitor and alert on cost usage across multiple compartments. Then, applying compartment quotas allows you to limit the number of compute instances, meeting both cost control and resource usage needs.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While tagging can improve cost tracking, relying solely on weekly billing reports offers no real-time alerts or resource enforcement. OCI budgets and compartment quotas provide more direct control.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Although cost tracking tags and a single budget provide cost visibility, they do not automatically prevent exceeding a specific number of instances. Compartment quotas are essential for resource enforcement.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Multiple budgets can provide more granular spending alerts, but budgets alone cannot disable or limit resource usage in OCI. Compartment quotas are needed to cap resource provisioning.
