1Z0-1072-25 Question 102
Select 2Baker Enterprises needs a dedicated, high-bandwidth connection from their on-premises data center to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for a latency-sensitive application. They plan to use FastConnect to connect directly to their Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). Which two statements are correct in this scenario?
- A
- They can configure a private virtual circuit to connect their Dynamic Routing Gateway and route traffic securely to private subnets in the VCN.
- B
- They must purchase a separate software license from Oracle to enable public peering for multiple regions.
- C
- They can use a FastConnect partner provider to establish the physical link instead of connecting to an OCI edge point of presence themselves.
- D
- They must attach an Internet Gateway to route all traffic from the on-premises network, including private subnets, via FastConnect.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
FastConnect provides a dedicated, low-latency link from your data center to OCI. You can configure private peering via a Dynamic Routing Gateway for secure routing of private traffic, and optionally configure public peering to reach Oracle public services without traversing the internet. You can also select an OCI partner provider to handle the physical connection if a direct link to an OCI location is not practical. For more details, consult the 'Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect' documentation for recommended configurations and best practices.
- A. Correct.
Option 1 is correct. A private virtual circuit can be configured through a Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) to securely route data from the on-premises data center to private subnets within an OCI VCN. This approach ensures traffic does not traverse the public internet.
- B. Incorrect.
Option 2 is incorrect. FastConnect does not require a separate software license from Oracle to use public peering across multiple regions. While you might incur additional costs or partner fees depending on usage, a separate Oracle license for public peering is not required.
- C. Correct.
Option 3 is correct. FastConnect allows connectivity through an OCI partner provider. If a direct physical connection to an Oracle edge location is not feasible, leveraging a partner provider is a common and supported method to establish a dedicated circuit.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4 is incorrect. An Internet Gateway is not required for private subnets using FastConnect. For private traffic, you use private peering via a DRG. An Internet Gateway would be necessary only for outbound internet traffic, not for traffic traveling over a FastConnect private circuit.
