Booking signal

Book when you can:

  • explain whether a scenario is really about IAM, network, keys, or detection
  • choose between subnet, resource, and policy scope cleanly
  • reason about how a control reduces blast radius and improves traceability
  • avoid one-control answers when the scenario clearly needs layered security

Final 72 hours

  • Re-read Cheat Sheet for IAM, network, vault, and logging traps
  • Use FAQ to clean up final uncertainty
  • Keep Resources open for exact OCI security behavior or service detail
