Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
OCI File Storage cross-region replication
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. File Storage replication is for file data, not global HTTP traffic routing.
- ✓
OCI DNS Traffic Management Steering with Failover and Health Checks
Why this is correct
Correct. DNS Traffic Management steering policies route global traffic to healthy regional endpoints based on health checks and geolocation/latency.
- ✗
OCI Bastion Service in the primary region
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Bastion is for administrative access, not global client traffic routing.
- ✗
OCI Local VCN Peering across regions
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Local VCN Peering only connects VCNs within the same region; Remote VCN Peering connects across regions, but it does not provide global client traffic steering.
