1Z0-997-26 Multicloud And Hybrid Practice Question
You are configuring the OCI-Azure Interconnect to link an OCI Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) with an Azure Virtual Network (VNet). You have already established the FastConnect and ExpressRoute circuits. What is the mandatory next step to enable cross-cloud routing between the OCI Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) and the Azure Virtual Network Gateway?
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
✓
Establish a BGP session between the OCI DRG and the Azure Virtual Network Gateway over the FastConnect/ExpressRoute circuit.
Oracle and Microsoft manage the interconnect partners, but the routing configuration requires peering the OCI Dynamic Routing Gateway (DRG) with the Azure Virtual Network Gateway using the specific peering mechanisms provided by the Oracle Interconnect for Azure setup wizard or manual BGP peering over the circuit.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure an OCI Service Gateway to route traffic to Azure services directly.
Why it's wrong here
A Service Gateway is used to access public OCI services privately within the region, not for cross-cloud traffic.
- ✗
Attach the Azure VNet directly to an OCI Local Peering Gateway (LPG).
Why it's wrong here
Local Peering Gateways are used to peer two VCNs within the same OCI region, not for interconnecting with Azure.
- ✓
Establish a BGP session between the OCI DRG and the Azure Virtual Network Gateway over the FastConnect/ExpressRoute circuit.
Why this is correct
Cross-cloud connectivity requires BGP peering configuration to exchange routing information between the OCI DRG and Azure Virtual Network Gateway.
- ✗
Deploy an OCI NAT Gateway to translate Azure private IP addresses into OCI public IP addresses.
Why it's wrong here
NAT Gateways are for outbound internet access from private subnets, not for direct private multicloud interconnects.
