Select 2Your organization wants to provision Oracle Database@Azure using Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure to enable a low-latency, secure connection between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Azure. Which two steps are recommended to ensure this deployment is properly integrated and follows best practices?
- A
Configure the Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure in the Azure portal and link it to the target OCI tenancy and region during setup
- B
Manually install an Oracle Database client on Azure VMs and open all inbound ports from the public internet for database connections
- C
Activate and configure the OCI-Azure Interconnect to provide private, low-latency network connectivity between the two clouds
- D
Set up an Azure Load Balancer in front of the Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure to manage database connections
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To provision Oracle Database@Azure using Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, you must properly configure the service within the Azure portal and link to your OCI tenancy, ensuring the OCI-Azure Interconnect is in place for secure and performant connectivity. The interconnect delivers a private, low-latency path between Azure and OCI, which is fundamental to achieving the desired performance. For more information, refer to the Oracle and Microsoft documentation on setting up Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure and configuring OCI-Azure Interconnect.
- A. Correct.
Option 1 is correct. As part of provisioning Oracle Database@Azure using Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, you need to set up the service in the Azure portal and link it to your OCI tenancy and region. This ensures that Azure can communicate securely with your Oracle databases running on OCI.
- B. Incorrect.
Option 2 is incorrect. Relying on manual installation of an Oracle Database client on Azure VMs and opening all inbound ports to the public internet is both insecure and unnecessary. Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure and the interconnect provide streamlined connectivity without exposing ports publicly.
- C. Correct.
Option 3 is correct. One of the key advantages of Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure is the private, low-latency link between Azure and OCI. You must configure or activate the OCI-Azure Interconnect to establish a secure, private connection, which is essential for high performance and minimal latency.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4 is incorrect. You typically do not place Azure Load Balancer in front of Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure. The recommended approach is to leverage the connectivity provided by the OCI-Azure Interconnect and the Oracle Database Service itself, which handles management of incoming database connections.
