Practice architectural reasoning for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with 120 original questions from Cloudpuz Academy. This course contains two distinct tests of 60 questions. Each question has four answer options, one correct answer, explanations for every option, and a reference to relevant Oracle documentation. The scenarios ask you to identify the missing control, diagnose a configuration assumption, or choose a design that meets a stated requirement.

Identity scenarios examine conditional policies, compartment scope, cross-resource dependencies, tag-based authorization, dynamic groups, and the security boundary of instance principals. Networking questions cover DRG attachment routing and import distributions, hybrid and private DNS, security-rule interactions, flow-log interpretation, VPN resilience, FastConnect encryption, load-balancer health and TLS, and the limits of Network Path Analyzer.

Compute scenarios address instance configurations, pool updates, autoscaling signals, cooldown, planned maintenance, image contents, shape compatibility, capacity reservations, preemptible workloads, monitoring, and recovery dependencies. Storage questions distinguish crash consistency from application consistency, backups from current replicas, and data copying from resource-configuration recovery. They also examine object version history, replication boundaries, pre-authenticated access, NFS export ordering, identity squash, file-system cloning, and retention controls.

Both tests cover all four study areas with different decisions and scenarios. Each allows 110 minutes and uses a 70% practice target. These settings support deliberate learning and are not presented as the official exam duration or passing score. Attempt a test before reviewing its explanations, then revisit the documentation behind uncertain answers. Explain why the alternatives fail the requirement before repeating the test. Practical experimentation in your own appropriately configured environment can strengthen the concepts further.

This is independent preparation material for learners studying OCI Architect Associate topics associated with 1Z0-1072-26. The allocation is author-selected rather than an official weighting or a guarantee of exhaustive exam coverage. No actual, recalled, or leaked exam questions are included. Oracle does not sponsor or endorse this course, and certification success is not guaranteed. This product contains practice tests, not video lessons or an included cloud lab. Prior OCI fundamentals and familiarity with basic networking, compute, storage, and access-control concepts are recommended.
