You are experiencing intermittent connectivity issues and notice that the VPN tunnel is flapping (frequently going up and down). You have verified the IKE and IPSec configuration and confirmed that the security policies are correct. Which is a LESS likely cause of the VPN tunnel flapping when using IPSec over FastConnect, compared to using IPSec over the public internet?
You are designing an OCI VCN for a new application with the following requirements: The application servers in a private subnet must be able to download software updates from public repositories on the internet; the application servers must NOT be directly accessible from the public internet; the application servers must also be able to access Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry (OCIR) within the same region to pull container images. Which combination of VCN Gateways BEST meets these requirements?
You are designing a VCN in OCI to host a multi-tenant SaaS application. Each tenant requires a separate and isolated network segment for security and regulatory compliance. You are using a large CIDR block for the VCN. What is the most efficient procedural method for achieving network segmentation and isolation for each tenant, considering IP address utilization and ease of management?
You are troubleshooting an issue where legitimate users are occasionally blocked by your OCI WAF, which is configured in "Detection" mode. You need to identify the specific WAF rules that are triggering these false positives and adjust them without disrupting legitimate traffic. Which approach offers the most efficient way to diagnose and resolve this issue?
You have deployed a distributed application across OCI and Azure. You have established the OCI-Azure Interconnect. You are experiencing packet loss and performance degradation when transmitting large volumes of data between the two cloud providers.
