1Z0-1072-26 Compute Practice Question
You are deploying an application on OCI Functions. The function requires external Python packages that are not part of the standard library. How should you include these dependencies?
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
✓
Include the dependencies in the requirements.txt file within the function directory before building and deploying.
When building OCI Functions, dependencies are included in the function's directory (e.g., in a `requirements.txt` file for Python) so that the `fn build` command packages them into the container image.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Install them manually via SSH on the function's underlying compute node after deployment.
Why it's wrong here
OCI Functions are serverless; you do not have direct SSH access to the execution environment.
- ✓
Include the dependencies in the requirements.txt file within the function directory before building and deploying.
Why this is correct
Dependencies are packaged into the function container image during the build phase using dependency management files like requirements.txt.
- ✗
Upload the packages as objects to Object Storage and configure the function to download them at runtime.
Why it's wrong here
Downloading dependencies at every function invocation adds significant latency and is an anti-pattern.
- ✗
Store them in an OCI Vault and reference them as environment variables.
Why it's wrong here
Vault is for secrets, not software packages or libraries.
