OCI Disaster Recovery Design Quiz

1. Which architectural pattern minimizes RTO by keeping the DR environment active and serving traffic?

Cold standby

Warm standby

Hot standby or active-active

Pilot light

2. What is the critical first step when designing a disaster recovery strategy for OCI workloads?

Immediately replicate all data to secondary region

Define RTO and RPO requirements based on business needs

Deploy identical infrastructure to standby region

Configure automatic failover without testing

Submit

4. Which network configuration best ensures low-latency replication for multi-region DR on OCI?

Internet-based connectivity

OCI Fast Connect for dedicated, high-bandwidth connections

Public IP routing only

Peer-to-peer VPN tunnels

Submit

6. OCI Backup and Recovery service supports backup of which resource types?

Compute instances only

Databases and block volumes

File systems, databases, and block volumes

Object Storage only

7. What is a key consideration when designing cross-region failover for stateful applications?

Ensure session data is replicated or reconstructed in DR region

Use only read-only replicas

Disable caching to reduce complexity

Eliminate inter-region communication

8. Which OCI resource ensures consistent failover behavior by defining recovery scripts and procedures?

Runbook or DR plan

Load balancer configuration

IAM policy document

Virtual cloud network route table

Submit

10. For disaster recovery, what is the primary advantage of using OCI Object Storage with versioning?

Enables point-in-time recovery of files

Reduces storage costs automatically

Provides real-time replication only

Eliminates need for database backups

11. What is the primary difference between RTO and RPO in disaster recovery planning?

RTO measures data loss tolerance; RPO measures downtime tolerance

RTO is recovery time; RPO is recovery point in time

RTO applies to databases; RPO applies to applications

RTO and RPO are identical concepts with different names

Submit

13. An organization requires zero data loss during failover. Which DR strategy best meets this requirement?

RPO of 24 hours with daily backups

Synchronous replication with RPO of 0

Asynchronous replication with RPO of 1 hour

Manual backup and restore process

14. In OCI, what does a standby database in Data Guard primarily provide?

Read-only access to current production data

Immediate failover capability with minimal data loss

Compressed backup storage

Enhanced query performance

15. Which OCI service provides automated, policy-based backup management across regions?

OCI Backup and Recovery

OCI Disaster Recovery

OCI Archive Storage

OCI Database Exadata

Submit

17. What is the primary purpose of Oracle Data Guard in OCI disaster recovery?

Automated backup scheduling and retention

Real-time database replication and synchronization

Network security and DDoS protection

Load balancing across availability domains

18. Which network component is essential for establishing secure DR communication between OCI regions?

Fast Connect

VPN Connect

OCI Interconnect

Both Fast Connect and VPN Connect

19. In a multi-region DR strategy, what is the primary advantage of active-active configuration over active-passive?

Lower cost due to single region operation

Reduced RTO with simultaneous service availability in multiple regions

Simpler failover processes

Eliminates need for data replication

20. Which OCI service enables cross-region replication for database disaster recovery?

Oracle Database Cloud Service with Data Guard

OCI Backup and Recovery

OCI Object Storage Cross-Region Replication

All of the above
