When planning a lift-and-shift migration of virtual machines from an on-premises VMware environment to OCI Compute, which THREE key readiness assessments must be performed prior to migration? (Choose three.)

You are leading a multi-cloud migration project where 200 virtual machines from an on-premises data center are being assessed for migration to OCI. You have deployed the OCI Migration discovery agent, but some Linux VMs are failing inventory collection due to SSH authentication failures and lack of root privileges. How should you resolve this issue without compromising security?

Your organization is migrating a 3-tier web application running on VMware vSphere to OCI Compute. The application requires exact operating system configurations, strict security policies, and custom kernel modules. You want to automate the migration process while maintaining network consistency. Which migration approach is most suitable?

An architect is planning the migration of a large enterprise application repository stored in an on-premises NFS filer to OCI. The application requires POSIX-compliant shared file storage accessible by multiple compute instances simultaneously across different availability domains. Which OCI storage service should be deployed?

You are migrating a mission-critical multi-tier application from an on-premises data center to OCI. During the migration assessment phase, you identify that the application relies heavily on low-latency network communication (< 1ms round trip time) between the web tier and database tier. Which OCI architectural feature should you implement to satisfy this latency requirement?

Your company is executing a lift-and-shift migration of 50 physical servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to OCI. You want to ensure that the operating systems remain supported, patched, and entitled to Oracle Linux Premier Support without having to rebuild the servers. What conversion utility should you use?

An enterprise is planning to migrate a large on-premises Oracle Database of 15 TB to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Exadata Database Service. The maintenance window for the final cutover is extremely short (less than 2 hours). Which migration method should you recommend to minimize application downtime?

An administrator needs to transfer 80 TB of unstructured file backup data from an on-premises Network Attached Storage (NAS) device to OCI Object Storage. The available internet bandwidth is only 50 Mbps, which would take months to upload. Which OCI service should be utilized to complete this physical migration efficiently?

Your team is executing a cutover plan for migrating a production Microsoft SQL Server database from an on-premises environment to OCI Compute running Windows Server. To ensure data integrity, you decide to use Always On Availability Groups with the on-premises primary and the OCI replica. After completing the initial seed and syncing the databases, you perform the failover. However, application servers in OCI cannot connect to the new primary database. What is the most likely root cause?

You are migrating a custom web application from an on-premises Linux server to OCI Compute. The application is packaged as a standard Docker container. Your management wants to avoid managing underlying operating systems, kernel patching, and VM scaling. Which OCI service should you select for this containerized workload migration?

During a database migration assessment from an on-premises Oracle Database (version 11.2.0.4) to OCI Base Database Service running Oracle Database 19c, you discover that the legacy database uses deprecated initialization parameters and character sets that are incompatible with 19c. How should you address this migration blocker?

Your organization is designing a disaster recovery strategy as part of a workload migration project to OCI. The business requirement states that in the event of a regional outage in OCI region A, workloads must fail over to OCI region B with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of zero and a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of less than 15 minutes. Which OCI networking feature should you deploy to interconnect the two regions for database replication?

Your company is migrating a large PostgreSQL database from AWS RDS to OCI Database with PostgreSQL. The database is 4 TB in size, and write operations continue 24/7. To ensure zero data loss and minimal downtime during cutover, which migration strategy should you employ?

Question 14mediummultiple choice

You are migrating an enterprise application that requires strict compliance and regulatory isolation. The application must run on dedicated physical hardware where no other customer's virtual instances can reside. Which OCI compute provisioning model should you choose?

Your engineering team is troubleshooting an issue where migrated Linux virtual machines in OCI are experiencing severe disk I/O performance bottlenecks. The instances were migrated using raw block-level cloning from on-premises SAN storage. The volumes in OCI are provisioned as Lower Cost (Balanced) block volumes. What action should you take to resolve the performance bottleneck while maintaining data integrity?

During a lift-and-shift migration planning phase, your team needs to estimate the monthly running costs of various OCI Compute shapes, block storage volumes, and egress data transfer fees before provisioning resources. Which OCI tool should you use to generate this detailed cost breakdown?

An organization is preparing to migrate 500 virtual machines to OCI. To govern resource creation, budget allocation, and access control effectively, how should the OCI tenancy be structured prior to starting resource migrations?

Your organization has completed migrating a database to OCI Base Database Service. To ensure compliance with corporate data protection policies, you must verify that all database backups stored in OCI Object Storage are automatically encrypted using customer-managed encryption keys. Where should you configure this key management integration?
