1Z0-997-25 Question 113
Select 2Your organization currently hosts a critical financial database on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), but you also want to leverage specialized analytics services on another public cloud provider. You have been asked to design a secure, low-latency multi-cloud architecture that reduces administrative overhead and operational complexity. Which two design considerations should you prioritize to ensure a successful and cost-effective deployment?
- A
A. Establish federated identity to enable single sign-on (SSO) and consistent access control across both clouds
- B
B. Maintain completely separate identity systems on each cloud to reduce potential cross-platform security risks
- C
C. Implement a private, high-throughput direct interconnect or partner connection between OCI and the other public cloud
- D
D. Rely exclusively on public Internet connections for inter-cloud data traffic to avoid additional network configuration complexity
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
When planning a multi-cloud strategy involving Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and another provider, it is vital to streamline authentication and authorization through federated identity. This approach provides a central access management framework and reduces the likelihood of security gaps. Additionally, implementing a dedicated direct interconnect or partner connection for traffic between the two clouds ensures consistent performance and minimizes exposure to public Internet vulnerabilities. Refer to Oracle� documentation on cross-cloud connectivity and identity federation best practices for further guidance.
- A. Correct.
A: Correct. Federating identity across clouds allows for consistent access policies and simpler user management. It normalizes authentication and authorization processes, reducing the risk of misconfiguration and improving operational efficiency.
- B. Incorrect.
B: Incorrect. Maintaining separate identity systems often leads to increased administrative overhead, higher risk of misalignment in access controls, and user management complexity between clouds.
- C. Correct.
C: Correct. Direct interconnect solutions (such as FastConnect for OCI and Direct Connect for AWS) or partner interconnect solutions help achieve low-latency, high-throughput data transfer. This eliminates performance bottlenecks and reduces the security risk of routing sensitive data over the public Internet.
- D. Incorrect.
D: Incorrect. While using the public Internet can simplify initial setup, relying solely on public networks introduces potential latency and security risks. This typically isn�t recommended for mission-critical or latency-sensitive workloads.
