1Z0-1072-25 Question 149
Single answerYou run a global eCommerce platform on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), serving both static (images, style sheets) and dynamic (API-driven) content. Your users are spread across multiple continents, and you receive complaints about slow website response times during peak hours. Which solution would most effectively accelerate your web application performance for these globally distributed users?
- A
Deploy an OCI Load Balancer in your primary region only and rely on auto-scaling to handle global traffic spikes.
- B
Leverage OCI� Content Delivery Network (CDN) service to cache and serve static content from edge locations worldwide.
- C
Configure an additional compute instance in each global region and manually synchronize all static content between them using block storage replication.
- D
Enable Oracle Web Application Firewall (WAF) with only security rules and no caching to reduce direct traffic on the backend servers.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To effectively reduce latency and improve performance for end users across the globe, implementing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure� Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a best practice. It caches static assets at edge locations closer to the end user. This approach improves load times and lowers the burden on origin servers. For more details, consult OCI Edge Services documentation, which outlines CDN setup, caching strategies, and best practices for web application acceleration.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1: Incorrect. A single regional load balancer with auto-scaling can handle increased traffic volume, but it does not reduce latency for geographically distant users. Global users will still experience higher round-trip times when accessing content from a single region.
- B. Correct.
Option 2: Correct. Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure� CDN allows caching of static content at strategically placed edge nodes around the world. This reduces latency for users by serving content from the closest edge location, improving response times and overall performance.
- C. Incorrect.
Option 3: Incorrect. Manually replicating content to multiple compute instances in different regions can be cumbersome, prone to errors, and inefficient. It does not leverage edge caching best practices and imposes significant operational overhead.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4: Incorrect. While enabling OCI� WAF can protect your application from common web exploits, using it without caching rules does not optimize content delivery. WAF alone addresses security, not acceleration.
