1Z0-997-25 Question 117
Single answerA data science team needs to integrate Oracle Autonomous Database running in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with an existing data lake stored in AWS. They want to minimize data transfer costs and achieve reliable, low-latency connections between both clouds. Which approach should they implement?
- A
Use an internet-based VPN between AWS and OCI to route traffic across public networks.
- B
Leverage OCI Service Gateway for direct connectivity to AWS.
- C
Implement a third-party network provider to connect AWS Direct Connect with OCI FastConnect.
- D
Rely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing to route traffic to AWS endpoints.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
For multi-cloud architectures that integrate OCI and AWS, using a dedicated connectivity path�such as OCI FastConnect on one side and AWS Direct Connect on the other�minimizes data transfer costs and provides consistent, low-latency performance. Third-party connectivity providers (e.g., Equinix, Megaport) facilitate a private connection between AWS Direct Connect and OCI FastConnect. Refer to Oracle documentation on multi-cloud networking best practices for details on proper configuration and available partner interconnect services.
- A. Incorrect.
Using an internet-based VPN may be simpler to set up but often results in higher latency, variable performance, and potentially higher egress costs compared to dedicated connectivity options.
- B. Incorrect.
OCI Service Gateway allows private access to select OCI services without using the public internet but cannot directly connect to external cloud providers such as AWS. It� not meant for cross-cloud networking.
- C. Correct.
A third-party network provider that bridges AWS Direct Connect with OCI FastConnect offers a dedicated, private connection path between the two clouds, minimizing public internet exposure, reducing egress costs, and improving network performance.
- D. Incorrect.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing is designed to distribute traffic within OCI, not for connecting directly to external clouds. It does not provide a dedicated private link or address egress cost concerns in a multi-cloud setup.
