You run a large global application with 90% of customers based in the US and Canada. You want to be able to test a new feature and allow a small percentage of users to access the new version of your application.
What Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Traffic Management steering policy should you utilize? (Choose the best answer.)
The correct Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Traffic Management steering policy to use for testing a new feature and allowing a small percentage of users to access the new version of the application is Load Balancer. Load Balancer policies allow distribution of traffic across multiple endpoints. This setup enables an equal or custom-weighted distribution to direct a specific percentage of traffic to the new version without needing to rely on specific IP addresses or geographic locations.
A. Load Balancer
maybe D? GEOLOCATION STEERING Geolocation steering policies distribute DNS traffic to different endpoints based on the location of the end user. Customers can define geographic regions composed of originating continent, countries or states/provinces (North America) and define a separate endpoint or set of endpoints for each region. https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/TrafficManagement/Tasks/trafficmanagement.htm
Answer is B
Correct is 'B' beacause you re asked to do a Canary Testing so IP Prefix is the right choose
With IP Prefix you need to indicate the IP prefix of the originating request, you can't indicate a percentage of the total requests. A, Load Balancer allows you to steer a small amount of traffic.. https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/TrafficManagement/Tasks/trafficmanagement.htm
A https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/TrafficManagement/Tasks/trafficmanagement.htm
A: "Load Balancer policies allow distribution of traffic across multiple endpoints. Endpoints can be assigned equal weights to distribute traffic evenly across the endpoints or custom weights may be assigned for ratio load balancing." https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/TrafficManagement/Tasks/trafficmanagement.htm
I'm leaning towards 'D' on this one. My reasons: 90% of customers are in the US/Canada. That leaves "a small percentage of users" that could be used to test the new version. So anyone outside of the US/Canada. I don't think those details would be in the question if they were not a factor. https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/TrafficManagement/Tasks/trafficmanagement.htm GEOLOCATION STEERING Geolocation steering policies distribute DNS traffic to different endpoints based on the location of the end-user. Customers can define geographic regions composed of originating continent, countries or states/provinces (North America) and define a separate endpoint or set of endpoints for each region.
A. Load Balancer
Once again all wrong. It is B.
D.GEOLOCATION STEERING Geolocation steering policies distribute DNS traffic to different endpoints based on the location of the end user. Customers can define geographic regions composed of originating continent, countries or states/provinces (North America) and define a separate endpoint or set of endpoints for each region.
I will go with A
Load Balancer is the right answer, because you want to direct part of the traffic to the new application. It may looks like a canary testing, but IP Prefix steering (B) is not appropriate in this case, because there is no mention that users to direct to the new app are identifiable by their IP address. Finally Geolocation steering (D) is not appropriate, because the geographic location of users is just a misleading piece of information provided
Answer is D
