What to know about Getting Started With Oci
You must be able to map business requirements like uptime, data residency, and fault isolation to the correct OCI constructs: multiple ADs for resilience, Cloud@Customer or Dedicated Region for residency, and Fault Domains for intra-AD isolation. Get the AD versus Fault Domain distinction right.
Availability Domain and Fault Domain design for fault isolation within a Region
Distributed cloud options: public Region, Dedicated Region, Cloud@Customer, multicloud
Region selection factors including data residency, latency, and service availability
High availability strategies using multiple ADs, load balancers, and replication
Watch out for
Common Getting Started With Oci exam traps
- ▸Confusing Fault Domains with Availability Domains; Fault Domains are grouped hardware within a single AD, not separate data centers.
- ▸Assuming all OCI services are available in every Region; service availability varies by Region and must be verified.
- ▸Treating Cloud@Customer as a public cloud extension rather than hardware deployed in the customer's own data center.
