OCI Operations Associate (1Z0-1067-26) is Oracle's 2026-numbered cloud operations exam. It covers six domains: Deploying and Managing Resources, Configuration Management, Cost and Performance Optimization, Reliability and Business Continuity, Identity and Security, and Observability. Oracle's published 2026 attempt price for OCI associate and professional exams is $245 USD; the official Oracle exam page is the source of truth for the final question count, time limit, and passing score.

Sample OCI Operations Associate Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your OCI Operations Associate exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1An operations engineer needs to organize OCI resources for separate development and production teams within the same tenancy. Which OCI feature provides the primary boundary for grouping these resources and applying access policies?
A.Tenancy
B.Compartment
C.Availability domain
D.Region
Explanation: Compartments are the primary logical grouping for OCI resources within a tenancy. IAM policies are typically written against compartments, which makes them the right boundary for separating dev and prod workloads while still living inside one tenancy.
2You launch a Linux VM in OCI and need it to run a custom bootstrap script the first time it boots. Which mechanism is designed to pass that script to the instance at provisioning time?
A.Instance principal
B.Cloud-init user data
C.Image OCID
D.Custom shape configuration
Explanation: Cloud-init reads user data passed at instance launch time and runs your custom script during initial boot. This is the standard OCI way to bootstrap configuration, install packages, and set up services on a fresh Compute instance.
3An operations team wants applications running on a Compute instance to call OCI APIs without storing API keys on the instance. Which IAM construct is designed for this scenario?
A.Federated identity provider
B.Local IAM user with API keys
C.Dynamic group with a matching rule, granted policies
D.Tag namespace with a default value
Explanation: Dynamic groups let you match resources such as Compute instances by attributes, and then write policies that grant the matched resources permissions. Combined with instance principal authentication, applications on the instance can call OCI APIs without storing static credentials.
4Which IAM policy verb grants the highest level of permission on a resource family in OCI?
A.inspect
B.read
C.use
D.manage
Explanation: OCI IAM verbs are tiered from lowest to highest as inspect, read, use, then manage. Manage includes all permissions on the resource family, so it is the strongest verb to grant.
5You need a stateless web tier in OCI to scale out automatically when CPU exceeds 75% and scale in when CPU drops below 25%. Which combination of services is the standard way to deliver this in OCI?
A.Single VM with manual resizing
B.Instance pool with an autoscaling configuration
C.Bare metal instance with a custom image
D.Dedicated VM host with capacity reservation
Explanation: OCI Autoscaling configurations attach to instance pools and automatically add or remove instances based on metrics such as CPU utilization, or by schedule. That matches the requirement to scale on a CPU threshold without manual intervention.
6Which OCI service lets you define infrastructure as Terraform configurations and run plan and apply operations from a managed control plane in OCI?
A.Resource Manager
B.Cloud Shell
C.Functions
D.OS Management Hub
Explanation: Resource Manager is OCI's managed Terraform service. It stores Terraform state, runs plan and apply jobs, and integrates with OCI IAM so teams can deploy infrastructure as code without managing their own Terraform back end.
7An operations team wants daily, automatic backups of all block volumes attached to a fleet of production instances, with backups copied to a second region. Which OCI feature is the simplest way to schedule and copy these backups?
A.Manual block volume backups via OCI CLI cron jobs
B.Volume backup policies with cross-region copy enabled
C.Object Storage replication policies on the volume
D.File Storage snapshots replicated to another region
Explanation: Block Volume backup policies let you assign a schedule (such as daily) to volumes and optionally enable cross-region copy of those backups. This delivers scheduled, region-redundant block volume protection without custom scripting.
8You need to push application logs from a Linux Compute instance into OCI Logging so that they are searchable in the Console. Which approach does Oracle document for this?
A.Send logs to Object Storage and parse with Data Catalog
B.Install the Unified Monitoring Agent and create a custom log with an agent configuration
C.Email log files to a notifications topic
D.Stream logs directly into a VCN flow log
Explanation: OCI uses the Unified Monitoring Agent (Management Agent) to collect custom logs from instances. You enable a custom log in OCI Logging, attach an agent configuration that points at the file paths, and the agent ships log lines into the log group.
9Which OCI service provides a managed jump-host so administrators can SSH to private instances without exposing them with public IPs?
A.FastConnect
B.Bastion service
C.Service Connector Hub
D.Web Application Firewall
Explanation: The OCI Bastion service creates a managed bastion that provisions short-lived SSH sessions to private resources in a VCN. This avoids attaching public IPs and reduces the attack surface of administrative access.
10Which OCI service detects misconfiguration and risky behavior across a tenancy by aggregating signals into problems against detector recipes?
A.Cloud Guard
B.Vulnerability Scanning
C.Security Zones
D.Audit
Explanation: Cloud Guard continuously evaluates resources and activity against detector recipes and surfaces problems with suggested responder actions. That is the OCI service designed to give a posture and threat view across compartments and regions.

OCI Operations Associate Study Tips from Top Performers

1Build a real OCI tenancy with two compartments, dynamic groups, instance principals, and tag namespaces so IAM scenarios become intuitive.
2Practice writing IAM policies for verb tiers (inspect, read, use, manage) and tag-based access conditions until the syntax is automatic.
3Configure a Monitoring alarm in MQL, route it through a Notifications topic to email and HTTPS, and trigger it intentionally to see the full path.
4Stand up Resource Manager stacks from Terraform configurations and from Marketplace listings to understand both authoring paths.
5Run an Object Storage lifecycle rule, a retention rule, and a cross-region replication policy together so you can compare cost, compliance, and DR controls.
6Drill VCN troubleshooting: route tables, NSGs vs security lists, service gateway egress, DRG transit, and Bastion access patterns.
