1Z0-997-25 Question 79
Single answerYour organization is migrating a critical OLTP application to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). They want minimal operational overhead, including automated performance tuning, autonomous scaling, and built-in machine learning capabilities. However, they also need to control the underlying infrastructure maintenance schedule for compliance reasons. Which database deployment method should you choose?
- A
Autonomous Database on Shared Exadata Infrastructure
- B
Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure
- C
Base Database on a Virtual Machine
- D
Base Database on Exadata Cloud Service
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure strikes the balance between having the machine-learning-based performance tuning and automated operations of Oracle's Autonomous Database suite, while also giving you more control over maintenance schedules to meet strict compliance needs. According to Oracle documentation, Autonomous Database on Dedicated Infrastructure provides isolation at the Exadata infrastructure level, letting you configure patching windows, apply rolling updates, and adhere to internal compliance requirements, without losing the benefits of autonomous automation.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1: Autonomous Database on Shared Exadata Infrastructure. Incorrect. While Shared Autonomous Database provides automated performance tuning, automatic scaling, and built-in machine learning, you have limited control over the underlying maintenance and patching schedules. Oracle manages these autonomously on a shared platform, which conflicts with your compliance requirement to control the maintenance schedule.
- B. Correct.
Option 2: Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure. Correct. This option offers the benefits of Autonomous Database�machine learning-based performance tuning, auto-scaling, and minimal administrative overhead�while allowing you to have more control over your Exadata infrastructure, including scheduling maintenance and patching. This meets both the autonomous and compliance requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Option 3: Base Database on a Virtual Machine. Incorrect. Although a VM-based database can offer some flexibility in scheduling maintenance, it lacks the autonomous features�such as automatic performance tuning and machine learning�that your organization requires. You would be responsible for more database administration tasks with this approach.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4: Base Database on Exadata Cloud Service. Incorrect. While Exadata Cloud Service offers a high-performance platform, it does not provide the built-in autonomous and automated performance tuning capabilities of an Autonomous Database. You would still need to perform a significant portion of the database management tasks.
