MCQmedium

An administrator created a custom policy in the root compartment. However, a user complains that they cannot access resources in a child compartment. Upon inspection, you notice the policy syntax reads: Allow group DevGroup to manage instances in compartment ChildComp. What is the error in this policy?

A.Policies can never reference child compartments; they must always apply to the entire tenancy.
B.Compartments nested deeper than one level from the tenancy root must be referenced using their hierarchical path (e.g., ParentComp:ChildComp).
C.The verb 'manage' cannot be used with instances; it must be 'use'.
D.The group name must be prefixed with the tenancy name.
AnswerB

When referencing nested compartments in policies, you must specify the full path separated by colons if the compartment is not a direct child of the tenancy.

Why this answer

Policy statements require the full path or correct scoping when referencing compartments. If a policy is written in the root compartment referencing a child compartment, the syntax 'compartment ChildComp' is correct only if ChildComp is a direct child; however, if syntax errors or missing family definitions exist, it fails. Wait, let's examine standard syntax: 'Allow group <group> to <verb> <resource-type> in compartment <compartment-name>'.

If ChildComp is nested deeper, the path must be specified, e.g., 'compartment ParentComp:ChildComp'.

231
MCQmedium

How do you provide access to an object to an external user without creating an IAM account?

A.Public internet
B.Pre-authenticated request
C.Bucket policy

An OCI customer has a VCN with CIDR 10.0.0.0/16 and wants to peer it with another VCN having CIDR 10.1.0.0/16. However, they also have an on-premises network connected via FastConnect using the CIDR 10.0.0.0/14. What routing challenge does this create?

A.The on-premises CIDR (10.0.0.0/14) subsumes the VCN CIDRs, creating overlapping prefix routing conflicts.
B.FastConnect does not support CIDRs larger than /16.
C.The Internet Gateway will drop all 10.x.x.x traffic.
D.Peered VCNs cannot use private IP addresses.
AnswerA

Supernetting on-premises CIDRs that overlap with peered VCN ranges causes routing ambiguity and packet drops.

Why this answer

The on-premises CIDR (10.0.0.0/14) encompasses both VCN CIDRs (10.0.0.0/16 and 10.1.0.0/16). This creates overlapping address spaces where the more specific VCN routes might conflict or cause unpredictable routing behavior between hybrid and cloud peers.

233
MCQmedium
