1Z0-1151-25 Question 85
Single answerYou are a cloud architect at a retail company migrating a critical order processing application to Oracle Database@Azure. Your CIO wants a seamless onboarding experience, including secure networking, integrated identity, and centralized management through the Azure Portal. Which deployment approach best meets these organizational requirements?
- A
Manually deploy an Oracle database on Azure VMs, configure your own VNet peering, and maintain separate administrative credentials.
- B
Use the Oracle Database@Azure provisioning workflow in the Azure Portal, enabling integrated identity with Azure AD and secure private connectivity.
- C
Provision an Oracle database in a standalone OCI region and link it to Azure via a public IP, configuring user management in both clouds separately.
- D
Migrate all workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, then set up a custom VPN to Azure for any remaining Azure-based services.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Oracle Database@Azure combines the reliability and performance of Oracle databases with the convenience of Azure-based management tools and identity services. By using the dedicated Oracle Database@Azure provisioning flow in the Azure Portal, organizations benefit from integrated Azure AD authentication, secure private connectivity, and a single pane of glass for operations. Refer to Oracle's and Microsoft's joint documentation for detailed onboarding best practices and architectural guidelines.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1 is incorrect. Deploying Oracle on Azure VMs requires manual setup of networking and separate credential management, which does not fully leverage Oracle Database@Azure's integrated features.
- B. Correct.
Option 2 is correct. Oracle Database@Azure provides a guided setup within the Azure Portal that creates a private, low-latency connection, integrates with Azure AD for unified identity, and offers a consolidated management experience.
- C. Incorrect.
Option 3 is incorrect. Using a standalone OCI region and exposing a public IP adds latency and security overhead. It also lacks the automated identity synchronization that Oracle Database@Azure provides.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4 is incorrect. Migrating everything to OCI is not aligned with the requirement to maintain Azure-based services and centralize management in the Azure Portal.
