1Z0-1067-25 Question 65
Single answerYour company� Dev compartment frequently exceeds its cost targets due to excessive resource provisioning. Leadership wants to ensure two things: (1) The Dev compartment� monthly spending does not exceed USD 500 and (2) No more than 10 compute instances are allowed within that compartment at any time. Additionally, they want to receive an email notification when costs reach 75% of the monthly budget. Which approach correctly meets all these requirements?
- A
Create a monthly budget of USD 500 for the Dev compartment with a 75% notification threshold, and implement a compartment quota that limits compute instances to 10 in that compartment.
- B
Create a monthly budget of USD 500 for the Dev compartment without any notification threshold, relying on Quota policies to send alerts if 10 instances are deployed.
- C
Create a monthly budget at the tenancy level of USD 500, enable a 75% notification threshold, and trust that the budget will automatically block further usage beyond the threshold.
- D
Implement only a compartment quota limiting compute instances to 10. The default budget settings within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will handle the cost cap automatically.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Budgets in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) notify you when costs approach or exceed defined thresholds but do not automatically restrict resource provisioning. Compartment quotas, on the other hand, actively limit the number and types of resources that can be created. To meet both the cost and resource-limit requirements, you need to configure a budget with a notification threshold for cost alerts and a compartment quota policy to cap the number of compute instances. Refer to Oracle� documentation on 'Managing Cost and Usage with Budgets' and 'Resource Quotas' for detailed instructions on how to implement these configurations.
- A. Correct.
Correct. A budget for the Dev compartment with a 75% threshold triggers an email notification when costs approach the budget limit. A compartment quota actively restricts the creation of more than 10 compute instances, ensuring usage remains within desired operational limits.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A budget threshold is needed to trigger a spend alert. Quota policies do not send cost notifications; they only limit the number or type of resources. Omitting the notification threshold means you won�t be alerted when spending is about to exceed the desired amount.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Budgets do not automatically block usage; they only send alerts or notifications. Setting a budget at the tenancy level without applying a compartment quota would not limit the number of compute instances in a specific compartment. This approach also conflates tenancy-level budgets with compartment-level usage limits.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While quotas control resource counts, they do not manage or report on spending. Relying on default budget settings would not enforce the cost limit or notification threshold. You need to configure a budget explicitly for cost visibility and alerts.
