OCI 1Z0-1067-25 sample questions with explanations, traps, topic labels, and IT Mastery route links.

On this page

These original sample questions are designed to help you check how the exam topics appear in decision-style prompts. They are not taken from the live exam.

Use these sample questions as a guided self-assessment for OCI Cloud Operations Professional (1Z0-1067-25) topics such as monitoring, alarms, notifications, logging, audit, event-driven operations, runbooks, automation, cost visibility, and incident triage. The prompts focus on evidence-before-action operations.

1Z0-1067-25 OCI Cloud Operations sample questions

Work through each prompt before opening the explanation. Operations questions usually reward a triage sequence: symptom, signal, scope, recent change, safe remediation, verification, and documentation.

Question 1

Topic: Actionable alarms

An operations team receives hundreds of alarms each week. Most alarms do not require action, and engineers have started ignoring them. What is the best improvement?

  • A. Add more notification channels so each alarm is sent to more people.
  • B. Tune alarm thresholds and dimensions around actionable symptoms, attach ownership and runbooks, and remove or downgrade low-value noise.
  • C. Disable all monitoring until the team has time to redesign it.
  • D. Send every alarm directly to executives so responders take them seriously.

Best answer: B

Explanation: Alarm quality matters more than alarm volume. Strong operations design connects alerts to symptoms, ownership, context, and a runbook so responders know what to do.

Why the other choices are weaker:

  • A spreads noise instead of improving signal.
  • C removes detection entirely.
  • D escalates noise and does not make alarms actionable.

What this tests: Alert quality, actionable thresholds, notification routing, ownership, and runbooks.

Question 2

Topic: Change investigation

A private subnet lost connectivity to an internal service shortly after a maintenance window. Operators need to know who changed the route table and when. Which signal is the best first source?

  • A. CPU metrics from all instances in the subnet.
  • B. Application access logs from the internal service.
  • C. Cost reports for the current month.
  • D. Audit records for control-plane changes around the maintenance window.

Best answer: D

Explanation: The question is about who changed a control-plane resource and when. Audit records are the right first lane for accountability and change timing.

Why the other choices are weaker:

  • A may show workload pressure but not route-table change history.
  • B can show failed access symptoms, but not who changed the route table.
  • C is unrelated to the immediate connectivity change.

What this tests: Audit versus logs versus metrics, incident time windows, and change accountability.

Question 3

Topic: Failed automation

An automated deployment fails halfway through infrastructure changes. Some resources were created, others were not, and manual console fixes would be hard to reproduce. What should operations do first?

  • A. Review automation logs and state, identify what succeeded or failed, use the defined rollback or remediation path, and keep the environment aligned with version-controlled configuration.
  • B. Make random console edits until the application starts.
  • C. Delete the entire tenancy and recreate it from memory.
  • D. Disable automation for all future changes.

Best answer: A

Explanation: Failed automation should be handled through evidence, state, and a repeatable recovery path. The goal is to restore a known-good or intended state without creating untracked drift.

Why the other choices are weaker:

  • B creates drift and weakens repeatability.
  • C is extreme and unmanaged.
  • D removes the repeatable delivery path instead of fixing the failure mode.

What this tests: Automation triage, rollback, state awareness, drift control, and operational repeatability.

Question 4

Topic: Cost spike investigation

A project’s monthly OCI spend suddenly increased. The team needs to identify ownership, usage drivers, and whether resources are oversized or idle. Which operations approach is strongest?

  • A. Delete the largest-looking instance immediately without checking workload impact.
  • B. Ignore the spike if the application is still healthy.
  • C. Use compartments, tags, usage and cost reports, budgets, and utilization metrics to identify the owner, driver, and rightsizing opportunity.
  • D. Turn off monitoring so it does not add small additional cost.

Best answer: C

Explanation: Cost operations need ownership and evidence. Compartments and tags help group spend; cost reports and budgets identify changes; utilization metrics support rightsizing decisions.

Why the other choices are weaker:

  • A risks an outage without evidence.
  • B treats cost governance as optional.
  • D removes operational visibility and does not address the spend driver.

What this tests: Cost visibility, tags, budgets, utilization metrics, and evidence-based operations.
