Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 32

Your company has been running several small applications in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and is planning a proof-of-concept (POC) to deploy Oracle PeopleSoft.
If your existing resources are being maintained in the root compartment, what is the recommended approach for defining security for the upcoming POC?

Answer options

• A. Create a new compartment for the POC and grant appropriate permissions to create and manage resources within the compartment.
• B. Create a new tenancy for the POC and provision all new resources into the root compartment. Grant appropriate permissions to create and manage resources within the root compartment.
• C. Provision all new resources into the root compartment. Use defined tags to separate resources that belong to different applications.
• D. Provision all new resources into the root compartment. Grant permissions that only allow for creation and management of resources specific to the POC.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a new compartment specifically for the POC allows for better isolation and management of permissions, which enhances security. Option B is incorrect as creating a new tenancy is unnecessary and complicates the structure. Option C lacks proper security management, as using tags does not provide the same level of compartmentalization. Option D does not provide adequate isolation, which can lead to security risks as all resources are still in the root compartment.
