Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2026 Architect Associate (1Z0-1072-26) Exam Details
This associate-level certification validates your ability to design and deploy secure, available, scalable and cost-effective solutions on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, from identity and networking to compute, storage and databases.
Six Areas of the OCI Architecture
The exam walks through the layers of a real OCI design. Think of each domain as one layer of the stack you will be asked to plan.
Observability and Management
Monitoring, logging and alarms that keep the whole environment visible.
Identity and Access Management
Identity domains, users, groups, compartments and policies.
Oracle Databases and Autonomous Database
Choosing and designing the right database service for the workload.
Storage
Object, block and file storage and when to use each one.
Compute
Instance shapes, scaling and the right compute option for each scenario.
Networking
VCNs, subnets, gateways and connectivity to on-premises networks.
Foundation: Networking
Choices an OCI Architect Must Get Right
Associate-level questions often ask you to pick between two similar options. Open each card to review the difference.
Security Lists vs. Network Security Groups
Apply rules at the subnet level, so every resource in the subnet follows them.
Apply rules to selected resources, so you can control traffic more precisely.
Choosing the Right Gateway
An internet gateway allows public access, while a NAT gateway lets private resources reach out without being reachable from the internet.
A service gateway gives private access to Oracle services, while a DRG connects your VCN to on-premises or other networks.
Object vs. Block vs. File Storage
Unstructured data such as backups, media and logs, accessed over an API.
Volumes attached to instances for boot disks and databases.
A shared file system that many instances can mount at once.
Autonomous Database vs. Database System
Self-managing service that automates tasks such as patching, tuning and backups.
Gives you more control over the database environment and its configuration.
Public vs. Private Subnets
Resources can have public IP addresses and be reached from the internet.
Resources have no public IPs, which suits databases and internal application tiers.
Four Goals Behind Every Answer
When two answers look correct, pick the one that best fits what the scenario asks you to optimize.
Secure
Least privilege, private networking and protected data.
Available
Resilience across fault domains and availability domains.
Scalable
Capacity that grows with demand without redesign.
Cost-effective
The right size and service for the workload.
