- Question 1Single Choice
Which OCI resource is a logical container used to isolate and control access to the resources supporting Sunbird?
- ACompartmentCorrect answer
- BRegion
- CAvailability domain
- DDynamic group
Why this is the answer
A compartment is a logical collection of OCI resources and the primary mechanism for organizing resources and controlling access through IAM policies.
- Question 2Multiple Select
Which two statements about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regions and availability domains are correct for multi-Availability-Domain deployments?
- AA region can contain multiple availability domains.Correct answer
- BAvailability domains provide isolation from data center failures.Correct answer
- CA region is always smaller than an availability domain.
- DAvailability domains can only be used for storage.
Why this is the answer
OCI regions are broad geographic areas and contain one or more availability domains. Availability domains are isolated data centers, so failures in one do not affect other availability domains.
- Question 3Interactive
Review the code block. Which first-time configuration must be completed before the OCI CLI command can work?
- AConfigure an API signing keyCorrect answer
- BCreate a compute instance
- CAdd a network security group
- DMount a block volume
Why this is the answer
An OCI CLI installation must have an API signing key, user OCID, tenancy OCID, and fingerprint configured before it can call OCI IAM APIs.
- Question 4Single Choice
Which Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service stores unstructured media objects such as Sunbird course videos and assessment content?
- AObject StorageCorrect answer
- BBlock Volume
- CFile Storage
- DOracle Database
Why this is the answer

- Question 5Multiple Select
During Sunbird networking setup, which two components are configured directly in a Virtual Cloud Network?
- ASubnetsCorrect answer
- BRoute tablesCorrect answer
- CObject storage buckets
- DResource Manager stacks
Why this is the answer
A VCN contains virtual network components such as subnets and route tables. Buckets are part of Object Storage, while Resource Manager stacks are used for Terraform-based infrastructure.
- Question 6Interactive
Review the Terraform code block for a new Sunbird VCN. How many route table resources are declared in the configuration?
- AOneCorrect answer
- BTwo
- CZero
- DFive
Why this is the answer
The configuration declares exactly one route table resource, and it is associated with the VCN after Terraform applies the code.
- Question 7Single Choice
Which OCI authentication mechanism allows a Sunbird compute instance to call OCI APIs without storing user keys?
- AInstance principalCorrect answer
- BCustomer secret key
- CConsole password
- DNetwork security group
Why this is the answer
An instance principal gives a compute instance an identity, so it can call OCI APIs without embedding user keys or passwords in code.

- ASeparate dev, test, and prod compartmentsCorrect answer
- BGrant compartment-scoped IAM accessCorrect answer
- CUse one root compartment for all workloads
- DCreate one compartment per individual user
Why this is the answer
Grouping resources into compartments by lifecycle and using compartment-scoped IAM policies are recommended to enforce isolation and least privilege.
- Question 12Interactive
Review the IAM policy in the code block. What type of OCI resource is granted to SunbirdAdmins in SunbirdProd?
- ACompute instances and related resourcesCorrect answer
- BObject storage buckets and objects
- CDatabase systems only
- DAll VCN network components only
Why this is the answer
The policy grants SunbirdAdmins permission to manage compute-related resources in SunbirdProd, not database, storage, or tenancy-wide resources.
