RPO

What is Recovery Point Objective?

100

A collection of related resources

What is a compartment? 

100

Enable large scale deployment of VM's from a single gold image with automatic configuration

What is autoscaling? 
100

Storage for compute instances. That is either for Boot or data disks.
The service lets you store data independently of the lifespan of compute instances.

Data is encrypted at rest and in transit

What is Block Volume service? 

100

All data stored in a 'bucket' and is managed as objects. Objects are stored in a single flat structure. Commonly used for Content repository, log data or archival backups.
- data is encrypted at rest, but not in transit

What is object storage? 

200

RTO

What is Recovery Time Objective



200

A hypervisor to virtualize underlying bare metal server into small VM's (multi-tenant VMs)

What is a virtual machine (VM)
200

Container

What is includes the application and its dependencies. They share hardware and OS. 
200

- Basic (for throughput intensive with large sequential I/O)
- Balanced (for most workloads including random I/O - boot disks)
- Higher Performance (most demanding I/O performance such as large DB)

What is Block Volume tiers?

200

Virtual Cloud Network
Software defined private network set up in OCI

What is VCN? 

300

Availability Domain

What is One or more fault-tolerant, isolated data centers within a region. 

300

Run your VM instances on dedicated bare-metal servers (single-tenant VMs)

Dedicated VM Hosts

300

Oracle Kubernetes Engine

What is the fully managed, scalable and highly available service used to deploy containerized applications in OCI? 

300

Temporary storage attached to compute instance. Used for applications that require high performance local storage such as transactional DB. It will survive a reboot.

What is Local NVME?

300

provides path for network traffic between your VCN and the internet

What is internet gateway? 

400

Fault Domains

What is Grouping of hardware and infrastructure within an Availability Domain 

400

Change the shape of an instance (add or remove resources) 

What is vertical scaling (scaling up or down)? 

400

Small, powerful blocks of code that generally do a simple thing and are stored as docker images.

Functions 

400

Hierarchical collection of documents organized into named directories (local file systems)
data is encrypted at rest and in transit

What is File Storage?

400

allows outbound connection to the internet but blocks inbound connections initiated from the internet (used for patches and updates)

What is NAT Gateway?

500

Bare Metal

What is Direct Hardware Access

500

Add or remove instances

What is horizontal scaling (scale out or in)
500

Data stored on a device in fixed sizes and access by the OS. No high level metadata is stored and is commonly deployed in SAN

What is Block Storage?

500

FSS

What is File Storage Service? 

500

Virtual router that provides a path for private traffic between the VCN and destinations other than the internet - (on prem)

What is DRG (dynamic routing gateway)?
