It is also linked to the related certifications: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Professional, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Operations Associate. Oracle exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate exam includes 60 questions to be completed within 85 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate exam you need 65%, and the official registration fee is USD 150. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 150 again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate Sample Questions:
Question 1
You have launched a compute instance running Oracle database in a private subnet in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure US East region. You have also created a Service Gateway to back up the data files to OCI Object Storage in the same region. You have modified the security list associated with the private subnet to allow traffic to the Service Gateway, but your instance still cannot access OCI Object Storage. How can you resolve this issue?
A. Add a stateful rule that enables egress HTTPS (TCP port 443) traffic to OCI Object Storage in the security list associated with the private subnet
B. Add a stateful rule that enables ingress HTTPS (TOP port 443) traffic to 001 Object Storage in the security list associated with the private subnet
C. Add a rule in the Route Table associated with the private subnet with Target type as "Service Gateway" and destination service as all IAD services in the Oracle Service Network.'
D. Use the default Security List, which has ports open for OCI Object Storage
Question 2
You are responsible for creating and maintaining an enterprise application that consists of multiple storage volumes across multiple compute instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
The storage volumes include boot volumes and block volumes for your data storage. You need to create backups of these storage volumes in the most time-efficient manner.
How can you meet this requirement?
A. Create clones of all boot volumes and block volumes one at a time.
B. Group together multiple storage volumes in a volume group and create volume group backups.
C. Create on-demand full backups of block volumes, and create custom images from the boot volumes.
D. Create on-demand full backups of boot volumes, and copy data in block volumes to Object Storage using OCI CLI.
Question 3
A customer has launched a compute Instance in the Virtual Cloud Network (VCN), which has an Internet gateway, a service gateway, a default security lists and a default route table. Customer has opened up Port 22 in the security lists attached to the compute instance subnet, however is still unable to connect to compute instances using ssh.
Which option would remedy this situation?
A. Modify the route table associated with the VCN subnet in which the instance resides. Add a following route to the route table.
Destination CIDR: 0.0.0.0/0
Target: Internet Gateway (IGW)
B. Modify the route table associated with the VCN subnet in which the instance resides. Add a following route to the route table.
Destination CIDR: 0.0.0.0/0
Target: Service Gateway (SGW)
C. Modify the security list associated with the VCN subnet in which the instance resides. Add a stateful egress rule to allow icmp traffic in addition to the port 22.
D. Modify the route table associated with the VCN subnet in which the instance resides. Add a following route to the route table.
Destination CIDR: 0.0.0.0/0
Target: Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG)
Question 4
You need to create a high performance shared file system, and have been advised to use file storage service (FSS). You have logged into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console, created a file system, and followed the steps to mount the shared file system on your Linux instance. However, you are still unable to access the shared file system from your Linux instance.
What is the likely reason for this?
A. There are no security list rules for mount target traffic
B. There is no internet gateway (IGW) set up for mount target traffic
C. There is no Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies set up to allow you to access the mount target
D. There is no route in your virtual cloud network's (VCN) route table for mount target traffic
Question 5
You are designing a two-tier web application in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Your clients want to access the web servers from anywhere, but want to prevent access to the database servers from the Internet.
Which is the recommended way to design the network architecture?
A. Create public subnets for web servers and associate a dynamic routing gateway with that subnet, and a private subnet for database servers with no association to dynamic gateway.
B. Create public subnets for web servers and private subnets for database servers in your virtual cloud network (VCN), and associate separate internet gateways for each subnet.
C. Create a single public subnet for your web servers and database servers, and associate only your web servers to internet gateway.
D. Create public subnets for web servers and private subnets for database servers in your VCN, and associate separate security lists and route tables for each subnet.
