1Z0-1151-25 Question 96
Select 2Your company plans to deploy a mission-critical application on Azure with an Oracle Autonomous Database running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). They decide to use Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure to manage the database seamlessly from the Azure portal. Which two prerequisites must you ensure are in place before provisioning Oracle Database@Azure through the Azure portal to avoid operational bottlenecks?
- A
- Install and configure the Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure application in the Azure portal, linking your Azure subscription to your Oracle Cloud tenancy.
- B
- Confirm that your chosen Azure region and OCI region are supported by the Oracle-Azure Interconnect for low-latency connectivity.
- C
- Create an Azure virtual machine with Oracle Database installed and ensure it's joined to the same Azure Virtual Network (VNet) for direct data replication.
- D
- Install an on-premises Oracle client and connect it to Azure Active Directory for seamless single sign-on.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
When provisioning an Oracle Database from the Azure portal using Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure, you must first link your Azure and OCI accounts via the Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure application. This enables cross-cloud resource management and simplifies the creation and monitoring of Oracle Autonomous Databases in OCI. Additionally, selecting Azure and OCI regions supported by the Oracle-Azure Interconnect ensures you benefit from low-latency, high-throughput connections for production workloads. For more details, refer to the official Oracle Database Service for Azure documentation in Oracle Help Center.
- A. Correct.
Option 1 is correct. Before provisioning, you must integrate your Azure subscription and your Oracle Cloud tenancy using the Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure application from the Azure Marketplace. This step establishes trust and allows you to manage and monitor the Oracle Database from the Azure portal.
- B. Correct.
Option 2 is correct. Using a supported pair of Azure and OCI regions with the Oracle-Azure Interconnect ensures low-latency and high-speed connectivity between the application in Azure and the Oracle Database in OCI, which is crucial for production workloads.
- C. Incorrect.
Option 3 is incorrect. You do not need to create a separate Azure virtual machine to host Oracle Database; the whole point of Oracle Database Service for Microsoft Azure is to manage databases hosted in OCI through the Azure interface without separate VMs. Setting up a VM with Oracle Database in Azure by itself does not leverage the OCI-based Autonomous Database instances.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4 is incorrect. Installing an on-premises Oracle client and connecting it to Azure Active Directory does not address the fundamental requirement of linking Azure and OCI. While you could authenticate and manage from on-premises, the question specifically focuses on prerequisites for Oracle Database provisioning through the Azure portal.
