Oracle Cloud Platform Data Integration 2020 Specialist — Question 3

Per CAP theorem, in which scenario do you NOT need to make any trade-off between the guarantees? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. when the are no network partitions
• B. when the system is running in the cloud
• C. when the system is running on-premise
• D. when you are using load balancers

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the CAP theorem states that consistency, availability, and partition tolerance cannot all be guaranteed simultaneously, but when there are no network partitions, a system can provide both consistency and availability. Options B, C, and D do not inherently eliminate the need for trade-offs as they can still experience network partitions.
