Select 2Your organization plans to provision Oracle Database@Azure for a critical application running on Azure Virtual Machines. They already have an Azure subscription and an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) tenancy. The database must remain private, with no public internet exposure. Which two steps must you perform to ensure the new Oracle Database@Azure instance is properly provisioned and securely connected to the Azure Virtual Network (VNet)?
- A
Link your Azure subscription to your OCI tenancy using Oracle Database Service for Azure.
- B
Implement an Azure Private Link endpoint to connect to the Oracle Database over the public network.
- C
Configure the database on a public subnet to allow easier connectivity from Azure VMs.
- D
Set up cross-cloud private connectivity between the Azure VNet and the OCI Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) using Oracle� automated interconnect feature.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
When provisioning Oracle Database@Azure, you must link your Azure subscription with your OCI tenancy and configure private cross-cloud networking. This ensures secure, low-latency communication between Azure-based application components and your Oracle database. Refer to the official Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure documentation for detailed steps on tenancy linking, cross-cloud connectivity, and best practices for secure deployments.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Before provisioning Oracle Database@Azure, you must link your existing Azure subscription to your OCI tenancy through Oracle Database Service for Azure. This linkage streamlines provisioning and identity management.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While Azure Private Link is useful for private connections to many Azure services, Oracle Database@Azure relies on direct cross-cloud private connectivity configured through Oracle Database Service for Azure rather than a standalone Azure Private Link to a public endpoint.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Placing the database on a public subnet would expose it to the public internet, violating the requirement for a private deployment. Best practice is to use private subnets and secure cross-cloud networking.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Oracle Database Service for Azure provides an automated interconnect feature that securely links the Azure VNet and the OCI VCN without routing traffic over the public internet.
