1Z0-997-25 Question 101
Single answerYour company has a production workload split between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Microsoft Azure. You have configured FastConnect for OCI and ExpressRoute for Azure. You need to ensure minimal latency for cross-cloud traffic without routing it over the public internet. Which solution aligns with Oracle-recommended practices for connecting these two environments effectively?
- A
Establish the OCI�Microsoft Azure Interconnect in a region pairing that supports direct private peering.
- B
Use separate IPsec VPN tunnels from each environment to connect through a shared on-premises data center router.
- C
Route traffic over the public internet from Azure to OCI using a NAT gateway for faster egress.
- D
Leverage third-party VPN appliances in both clouds to create an encrypted overlay across the internet.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Oracle and Microsoft jointly recommend the Azure-OCI Interconnect for scenarios that require high-throughput, low-latency connectivity between services hosted in OCI and Azure. By pairing private connections (FastConnect and ExpressRoute) in supported regions, you can bypass the public internet, ensuring minimal latency and providing a more secure channel for sensitive data. For more details, refer to Oracle� documentation on the Oracle Cloud and Microsoft Azure Interconnect: https://docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/azure-interconnect-oci/
- A. Correct.
Correct. Setting up the OCI�Microsoft Azure Interconnect in a supported region pairing is Oracle� recommended practice for minimizing latency in a multi-cloud architecture. FastConnect and ExpressRoute seamlessly integrate through direct private peering, avoiding public internet paths and reducing latency.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While an IPsec VPN can establish connectivity, it typically introduces higher latency and is not the preferred solution for production workloads where low latency and high throughput are critical.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Routing traffic over the public internet�even with a NAT gateway�does not guarantee minimal latency or consistent performance and goes against typical best practices for enterprise-grade multi-cloud connectivity.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Using third-party VPN appliances to traverse the public internet still adds unpredictability and higher latency compared to direct private peering and interconnects explicitly designed for multi-cloud setups.
