Scenario: 2 (Oracle Cloud-init and AutoScaling: Use cloud-init to Configure Apache on Instances in an Autoscaling Instance Pool)
Scenario Description: (Hands-On Performance Exam Certification)
You're deploying an Apache-based web application on OCI that requires horizontal autoscaling.
To configure instances upon provisioning, write a cloud-init script for Oracle Linux 8 that installs and enables Apache (httpd), and opens the firewall for HTTP on TCP port 80. Create an instance configuration and include the cloud-init script in it. Use this instance configuration to create an instance pool and autoscaling configuration.
Pre-Configuration:
To fulfill this requirement, you are provided with the following:
Access to an OCI tenancy, an assigned compartment, and OCI credentials
A VCN Cloud-Init Challenge VCN with an Internet gateway and a public subnet. The security list for the subnet allows ingress via TCP ports 22 and 80 (SSH and HTTP). The route table forwards all egress to the Internet gateway.
Access to the OCI Console
Required IAM policies
An SSH key pair for the compute instance
Public Key
Private Key
Note: Throughout your exam, ensure to use assigned Compartment , User Name , and Region.
Complete the following tasks in the provisioned OCI environment:
Task 1(a): Develop the cloud-init Script:
Task 1(b): Use cloud-init to Configure Apache on Instances in an Autoscaling Instance Pool:
Scenario: 3 (Use the OCI CLI to Work with Object Storage from a Compute Instance)
Scenario Description: (Hands-On Performance Exam Certification)
Your company runs a web application in OCI that generates log files. You want to upload these files to OCI Object Storage to meet data retention requirements. Some files need to be retained indefinitely, whereas others can be deleted after 30 days. Use the OCI CLI to create bucket and upload the log directory and create a lifecycle policy rule to delete temporary files after 30 days.
Pre-Configuration:
To fulfill this requirement, you are provided with the following:
Access to an OCI tenancy, an assigned compartment, and OCI credentials
A compute instance with OCI CLI installed and a set of files in ~/dir_to_upload to use
Access to the OCI Console
Required IAM policies
Assumptions:
Perform the tasks by using the OCI CLI on the compute instance.
Use instance principal authentication for all CLI commands; the instance has been given the policies necessary.
Connect to the compute instance using Cloud Shell’s private networking and the provided SSH key.
An SSH key pair has been provided to you for the compute instance.

Note: Throughout your exam, ensure to use assigned Compartment , User Name and Region.
Complete the following tasks in the provisioned OCI environment:
Task 1: Create a Bucket in Object Storage
Task 2: Upload a Directory’s Contents to Object Storage
Task 3: Add a Lifecycle Policy to the Bucket
