1Z0-1067-25 Question 63
Select 2Your company has noticed rapidly increasing costs in the Production compartment over the last billing cycle. Management wants to cap monthly spending at $50,000 and prevent accidental over-provisioning that might exceed this budget. Which TWO actions should you implement in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to help achieve this goal?
- A
Create a budget for the Production compartment, configure alert thresholds at 80% and 100%, and establish a compartment quota policy to cap new resource provisioning once the budget threshold is met.
- B
Rely on daily usage reports to identify overages and manually terminate high-cost resources after you exceed the budget.
- C
Use a system-generated tag to categorize resources by cost center and rely on auto-scaling to reduce resource usage when costs approach the budget limit.
- D
Create a monthly cost budget at the root tenancy level with notifications to the Finance team, and implement a compartment quota statement to limit further resource creation in the Production compartment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, budgets let you monitor and alert on spending, and compartment quotas let you enforce usage limits on specific resources within compartments. By combining a budget with threshold-based notifications and an appropriate compartment quota policy, you can proactively prevent unintended cost overages in real time. Refer to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation on 'Using Budgets' and 'Compartment Quotas' for detailed guidance on configuration and best practices.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Creating a budget specifically for the Production compartment and configuring alerts ensures you receive timely notifications as you approach or exceed cost thresholds. Pairing this with a compartment quota policy helps limit further resource provisioning once defined thresholds are reached, effectively preventing unexpected overages.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Daily usage reports alone only show costs after they have accrued, and manual intervention occurs too late to prevent exceeding the budget. This approach does not proactively restrict resource usage in real time.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Simply tagging resources does not enforce a limit on resource creation or usage. Auto-scaling can reduce resource usage, but it does not strictly cap spending or provide immediate notification when usage approaches budget constraints.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Setting a budget at the tenancy (root) level with proper notifications allows higher-level visibility and alerts for all compartments, while a compartment quota statement for the Production compartment actively prevents accidental over-provisioning once you reach or exceed cost thresholds.
