Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 54

A customer's webserver runs a complicated application on three Baremetal instances that serve as backends on a backend set for an OCI public Load Balancer. If one of the Baremetal instances fails, what will the OCI Load Balancer do?

Answer options

• A. It will no longer send traffic to it.
• B. It will delete the failing Baremetal instance.
• C. It will fix the failing Baremetal instance.
• D. It will send an SOS notification.
• E. It will launch an API call.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the OCI Load Balancer is designed to stop routing traffic to a backend that is detected as unhealthy. Options B, C, D, and E are incorrect because the Load Balancer does not have the capability to delete, repair, or send notifications regarding the instance's status, nor does it make API calls in response to failures.
