1Z0-997-25 Question 99
Select 2A pharmaceutical company has a research workload that heavily relies on high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfers between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Microsoft Azure. They want to run large-scale genomic computations in Azure while storing sensitive data and running specialized database workloads in OCI. Which two approaches are recommended for designing secure, high-throughput connectivity between the OCI environment and Azure?
- A
Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect paired with Azure ExpressRoute
- B
Implement Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure
- C
Rely on the public internet via a simple IPSec VPN tunnel
- D
Route traffic through an on-premises data center that has site-to-site VPN with both clouds
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
When evaluating multicloud connectivity between OCI and Azure, dedicated private connections�such as OCI FastConnect with Azure ExpressRoute or Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure�are considered best practices for large-scale, high-performance workloads. These options reduce latency, enhance security, and provide more consistent bandwidth. Refer to Oracle documentation on FastConnect (docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/fastconnect) and Microsoft documentation on ExpressRoute for details on configuration and best practices.
- A. Correct.
Option 1: Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect paired with Azure ExpressRoute. Correct. This combination provides dedicated, high-bandwidth connectivity and lowers latency compared to public internet-based solutions. It is a standard, recommended approach for enterprise-grade multicloud deployments needing stable throughput.
- B. Correct.
Option 2: Implement Oracle Interconnect for Microsoft Azure. Correct. Oracle Interconnect for Azure establishes a direct, private connection between OCI and Azure. It helps avoid routing traffic over the public internet, which improves performance and security. This is especially suitable for production workloads requiring minimal latency.
- C. Incorrect.
Option 3: Rely on the public internet via a simple IPSec VPN tunnel. Incorrect. While IPSec VPN may be valid for smaller or less latency-sensitive workloads, it typically introduces higher latency and potential bandwidth limitations, making it less suitable for large-scale or compute-intensive scenarios.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4: Route traffic through an on-premises data center that has site-to-site VPN with both clouds. Incorrect. This approach generally increases complexity, potential failure points, and latency. Although feasible in certain hybrid scenarios, it is not an optimal design for a high-bandwidth, low-latency multicloud environment.
