Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 30

Your company has been running several small applications in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and is planning a proof-of-concept (POC) to deploy 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. Provision all new resources into the root compartment. Grant permissions that only allow for creation and management of resources specific to the POC.
• C. Provision all new resources into the root compartment. Use defined tags to separate resources that belong to different applications.
• D. Create a new tenancy for the POC. Provision all new resources into the root compartment. Grant appropriate permissions to create and manage resources within the root compartment.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating a new tenancy allows for better isolation and management of resources specifically for the POC while still utilizing the root compartment. Option A is incorrect as it suggests creating a new compartment which may not provide the same level of isolation. Options B and C are not suitable as they both propose using the root compartment without the isolation benefits of a new tenancy.
