1Z0-1067-25 Question 67
Select 3Your organization runs a mission-critical e-commerce platform on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025. The platform relies on an Autonomous Transaction Processing database for all financial transactions. To ensure operations continue even if the primary region becomes unavailable, which three actions should you take to implement a reliable business continuity strategy?
- A
Configure cross-region replication for Object Storage used to store transaction logs
- B
Deploy the entire application across multiple Availability Domains within the same region only
- C
Create an Autonomous Data Guard standby database in a secondary region
- D
Use ephemeral local storage for faster read/write performance
- E
Periodically test a controlled region failover scenario with OCI Health Checks
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To implement a robust business continuity strategy in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must replicate data and services across regions, set up Autonomous Data Guard for databases, and regularly test failover procedures. These measures minimize data loss and downtime when a region-wide outage occurs. Refer to the official OCI documentation on 'Data Guard for Autonomous Databases' (https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Database/Concepts/adgconcepts.htm) and 'Cross-Region Data Replication' for best practices and further details.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cross-region replication for Object Storage ensures that essential data, such as transaction logs or other critical backups, remains available even if the primary region faces an outage. This supports faster recovery in the secondary region.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While deploying across multiple Availability Domains can increase availability in a single region, it does not protect you from a complete region outage. You need a separate region for true business continuity.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Using Autonomous Data Guard to create a standby database in a different region is a key best practice for maintaining and quickly recovering critical transactional data when the primary region is unavailable.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Ephemeral local storage provides high performance but is tied to a single compute instance and isn't replicated. Using ephemeral storage offers no protection against regional failures.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Testing a region failover scenario validates the entire disaster recovery plan and helps ensure that processes and configurations work as intended under real failover conditions.
