1Z0-997-26 Cloud Native Architecture Practice Question
Your serverless OCI Function written in Python is failing to process payloads because it exceeds the default execution timeout limit when calling a third-party REST API. How should you resolve this issue while adhering to best practices?
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
✓
Modify the function timeout configuration using the Fn Project CLI or OCI Console to a higher value up to the service limit.
OCI Functions have a configurable timeout limit. You can update the function's timeout configuration either via the Fn Project CLI or the OCI Console.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increase the memory allocation to automatically and proportionally increase the timeout limit.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. While memory allocation can affect CPU performance, timeout must be configured independently.
- ✗
Deploy the function behind an OCI Load Balancer to cache timeout requests.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Load balancers do not solve function execution timeouts.
- ✗
Upgrade the underlying OCI Compute shape of the worker nodes in OKE.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. OCI Functions run on a serverless platform managed by Oracle; you do not manage worker nodes for OCI Functions.
- ✓
Modify the function timeout configuration using the Fn Project CLI or OCI Console to a higher value up to the service limit.
Why this is correct
Correct. OCI Functions allow configuration of execution timeouts to accommodate longer-running processing tasks.
