Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Geolocation steering (routing traffic based on the geographic location of the client)
OCI Traffic Management supports Failover, Load Balancer, and Geolocation/Round Robin steering policies to manage multi-region traffic.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Round-robin routing through a single static IP address without health checks
Why it's wrong here
Static single IP routing without health checks lacks failover capabilities.
- ✓
Geolocation steering (routing traffic based on the geographic location of the client)
Why this is correct
Geolocation steering routes users to the closest regional endpoint for performance and DR resilience.
- ✓
Failover steering (routing traffic to primary, failing over to secondary on health check failure)
Why this is correct
Failover steering explicitly directs traffic to a primary endpoint and switches to secondary if health checks fail.
- ✗
Manual BGP hijacking between VCN subnets
Why it's wrong here
BGP hijacking is not an OCI DNS steering method.
- ✓
Load Balancer steering (distributing traffic across multiple endpoints with weighted distribution)
Why this is correct
Load balancer steering distributes traffic across multiple endpoints based on weights.
