1Z0-997-26 Cloud Native Architecture Practice Question
You are configuring an OCI API Gateway deployment to route requests to backend microservices running on OKE. You need to ensure that if a backend microservice takes longer than 3 seconds to respond, the API Gateway cancels the request and returns a 504 Gateway Timeout error to the client. Where should you configure this timeout?
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
✓
In the API Gateway deployment specification under the route backend configuration timeout parameter.
OCI API Gateway route definitions allow configuring backend timeouts (maximum time to wait for a response from the backend) per route.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
In the OCI WAF protection ruleset configuration.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. WAF provides security filtering, not API backend timeout routing configuration.
- ✗
In the OCI Load Balancer idle timeout setting associated with the subnet.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. API Gateway manages its own internal routing proxies independently of the underlying load balancer.
- ✗
In the OKE Kubernetes Ingress resource annotations.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. API Gateway sits in front of OKE and is configured independently of Kubernetes Ingress annotations.
- ✓
In the API Gateway deployment specification under the route backend configuration timeout parameter.
Why this is correct
Correct. API Gateway supports backend timeout configurations in the deployment JSON/YAML spec.
