1Z0-1067-25 Question 64
Select 2Your company� R&D department deploys new resources in a dedicated Development compartment on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Recently, costs have started to exceed expectations, and management wants a solution that both alerts them when costs are approaching a certain threshold and prevents the creation of excessive resources in the Development compartment. Which two actions should you implement to meet these requirements?
- A
A: Configure an OCI Budget on the root compartment with a notification threshold at 80% of the set budget, and apply compartment quotas on the Development compartment to limit resource creation.
- B
B: Create cost-tracking tags to automatically stop resources when costs exceed 90% of the budget, and rely on default service limits to control new resource creation.
- C
C: Create individual budgets for each resource type in the Development compartment, relying solely on budgets for usage limitation and cost alerts.
- D
D: Configure an OCI Budget on the Development compartment and use compartment quota policies to restrict the number of allowed resources in the Development compartment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
Using both Budgets and compartment quotas in OCI is a best practice for managing costs and preventing over-provisioning. Budgets provide cost-related alerts and visibility into potential overspending, while compartment quotas strictly control or limit resource usage. For more details, refer to the official OCI documentation on Budgets for cost management and Quota policies for enforcing limits.
- A. Correct.
Option A is correct. Setting a budget at the compartment or root level allows you to receive notifications when costs approach your threshold. Compartment quotas effectively limit resource creation, ensuring that no team can exceed usage constraints in the Development compartment.
- B. Incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. Cost-tracking tags help categorize resources and costs but do not automatically stop resources or control creation. Also, default service limits are generally broader and may not match your specific needs for limiting resource creation in the Development compartment.
- C. Incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. While budgets can provide alerts at various thresholds, they do not directly enforce usage caps on resources. Creating separate budgets for each resource type is cumbersome and does not by itself prevent resource over-provisioning.
- D. Correct.
Option D is correct. Applying a budget to the Development compartment ensures you receive cost notifications scoped to that compartment� usage, while compartment quotas can be used to restrict how many of certain resources can be created, fulfilling management's requirement for both cost alerts and limits.
