20+ practice questions focused on Compute — one of the most tested topics on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2026 Architect Associate (1Z0-1072-26) (1Z0-1072-26) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Compute PracticeYou need to run a dedicated compute instance where no other tenant's virtual instances can share the underlying physical hardware. Which OCI service or feature should you use?
Explanation: Bare Metal Instances provide a physical server dedicated solely to your organization, meaning no other tenant's virtual instances can share the underlying physical hardware. Dedicated Virtual Machine Hosts also provide dedicated physical hardware, but they host virtual machines rather than being a bare metal instance itself. However, the exact phrasing 'run a dedicated compute instance where no other tenant's virtual instances can share the underlying physical hardware' aligns with Bare Metal, or if VM isolation is intended, Dedicated VM Hosts. Wait, actually, both Bare Metal and Dedicated Virtual Machine Hosts provide single tenancy, but Bare Metal is literally a compute instance on dedicated physical hardware.
You are deploying a Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) cluster and want to ensure that worker nodes are distributed across separate physical hardware infrastructures to maximize fault tolerance. Which feature should you configure during cluster creation?
Explanation: While the concept is correct, OKE refers to this as 'Fault Domains' within the Node Pool configuration. The option 'Node Pool Fault Domains' is slightly imprecise but acceptable. However, the explanation should clarify that OKE automatically distributes nodes across fault domains if specified during node pool creation.
You need to migrate a Windows Server boot volume containing sensitive application data across regions in OCI. What is the recommended and most secure sequence of steps?
Explanation: In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the recommended and most secure way to migrate a boot volume (especially one containing sensitive data) across regions is to create a backup of the boot volume, copy the block volume backup directly to the destination region using the native cross-region backup copy feature, and then restore the backup as a boot volume in the target region. This avoids the overhead and security exposure of exporting images to Object Storage buckets.
You need to grant an OCI Function permission to read objects from an OCI Object Storage bucket. How should you configure this securely?
Explanation: To allow OCI Functions to access other OCI resources securely, you must define a dynamic group based on the function's OCID or compartment, and then write an IAM policy that grants the dynamic group the necessary permissions (e.g., 'read objects in compartment <compartment_name>').
You are managing an OKE cluster and need to inspect the logs of the cluster control plane components (such as `kube-apiserver` and `kube-controller-manager`). Where are these logs sent by default in OCI?
Explanation: OKE integrates with OCI Logging service. Control plane logs (audit, API server, controller manager, scheduler) can be enabled and streamed directly to log groups in the OCI Logging service.

Practice all Compute questions1. Baseline your knowledge
Start with 10 questions to gauge your current understanding of Compute. This tells you whether you need a concept refresher or just practice.
2. Review every explanation
For each question — right or wrong — read the full explanation. Understanding why an answer is correct is more valuable than knowing the answer itself.
3. Focus on exam traps
Compute questions on the 1Z0-1072-26 frequently use trap wording. Look for subtle differences in answers that test your precision, not just general knowledge.
4. Reach 80% consistently
Do repeated sessions until you score 80%+ three times in a row. Then move to mixed-mode practice to test cross-topic recall under realistic conditions.
The exact number varies per candidate. Compute is tested as part of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2026 Architect Associate (1Z0-1072-26) (1Z0-1072-26) blueprint. Practicing with targeted Compute questions ensures you can handle any format or difficulty that appears.
Yes. Courseiva provides free 1Z0-1072-26 practice questions across all exam topics and domains. The platform includes topic-based practice, mock exams, missed-question review, bookmarked questions, and readiness tracking — no account required.
Difficulty is subjective, but Compute is a high-priority exam concept tested in multiple ways — direct recall, scenario analysis, and command-output interpretation. Consistent practice is the best way to build confidence.
