Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 44

You have been notified of an application failure indicating that one or more of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources have become unavailable. After scanning the Compute and Database consoles, you notice that one of the DB Systems is missing.
What should you do to identify the reason for this missing resource?

Answer options

• A. Navigate to the Audit console and search the previous 24 hours for all DELETE request actions to get a list of any resource that was deleted in the past 24 hours.
• B. Navigate to the Audit console and search the previous 24 hours for all the GET request actions to get a list of every event that occurred in the past 24 hours.
• C. View the service limits associated with your account to ensure that you have not exceeded the allowable number of DB Systems in your tenancy.
• D. Create a serial console connection to the DB System that does not appear in the management console. Connect to the serial console connection, and then review the system logs under /var/log/messages.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because checking the Audit console for DELETE requests will reveal if the DB System was intentionally deleted. Options B and C do not directly address the issue of the missing DB System, as B only shows events and C checks limits rather than deletion. Option D involves troubleshooting the system itself, which is not necessary if the resource was deleted.
