OCI 1Z0-1072-25 Guide: OCI Architect Associate

OCI 1Z0-1072-25 exam guide covering tenancy design, networking, resilience, cost, and service placement decisions.

1Z0-1072-25 is an architecture-and-placement exam. Strong answers usually come from putting the right control or service at the right layer rather than just picking the most powerful option.

Compartment: A logical boundary used to organize, isolate, and govern OCI resources.

Gateway: An OCI networking attachment that gives a VCN path to another network scope such as the internet or Oracle services.

What this guide emphasizes

  • tenancy, IAM, and compartment strategy
  • VCN design, subnet placement, routing, and edge decisions
  • compute, storage, database, and load-balancing selection
  • high availability, backup, observability, and architectural tradeoffs

What strong answers usually do

  • decide first whether the problem is identity, network, service-selection, or resilience
  • separate compartment and IAM scope from network-control scope
  • place public edge and private tiers deliberately instead of mixing responsibilities
  • choose the simplest architecture that still satisfies exposure, resilience, and recovery requirements
