Question #: 7
Topic #: 1
[All 1z0-997-20 Questions]

You are helping a customer troubleshoot a problem. The customer has several Oracle Linux servers in a private subnet within a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN). The servers are configured to periodically communicate to the Internet to get security patches for applications installed on them.
The servers are unable to reach the internet. An Internet Gateway has been deployed in the public subnet in the VCN and the appropriate routes are configured in the Route Table associated with the public subnet.
Based on cost considerations, which option will fix this issue? (Choose the best answer)

  • A. Create a NAT gateway in the VCN and configure the NAT gateway as the route target for the private subnet.
  • B. Create another Internet Gateway and configure it as route target for the private subnet.
  • C. Create a Public Load Balancer in front of the servers and add the servers to the Backend Set of the Public Load Balancer.
  • D. Implement a NAT instance in the public subnet of the VCN and configure the NAT instance as the route target for the private subnet.

A : Right; NAT Gateway, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) NAT gateways are free to use. B : Wrong; IGW won't work with private instances C : Wrong; No use of LB D : Wrong; though this option is Right, when another option to use NAT Gateway is there, this option is less preferred. Here we are creating solution for several linux servers. Though Nat instance are cost effective than nat gateway, However, creating a NAT instance in a public subnet can have administrative and operational challenges, and doesn't scale easily. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure also offers a NAT gateway, which provides a simpler and more intuitive tool for addressing networking security needs. NAT gateways are highly scalable and fully managed, and they block connections initiated from the internet. E :

Wrong: A is the correct answer. You can't even provision a NAT Instance using the OCI console. Why would they ask a question about a legacy scenario when the obvious answer is right there in the Resources section of every VCN? The answer is A.

I will go with D because Nat instance is cheaper than NAT Gateway. (https://dzone.com/articles/nat-instance-vs-nat-gateway) https://www.kabisa.nl/tech/cost-saving-with-nat-instances/

Oracle has stop recommending to create an instance to be used as NAT. Since Oracle release the NAT gateway that is the correct approach to follow
