OCI DevOps Deployment Pipelines automate the process of deploying applications to production environments. By using automated, repeatable deployment processes, they help reduce the risk of change-driven errors, which are often introduced during manual deployments. This automation reduces human errors and ensures consistency across environments, thus minimizing complexity and risk in production.

TheMonitoring servicein OCI can be used to trackmetricsfor various OCI resources, includingload balancers. You can monitor specific metrics, such asHTTP 5XX error rates, to identify issues.

By usingAlarms, you can set up thresholds for theHTTP 5XX error rateand receive notifications when the threshold is breached. The notifications can be configured throughOCI Notifications, which allows integration with email, PagerDuty, Slack, and other channels.

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging service has several log categories that users can utilize:

Custom Logs: Users can create their own logs to collect application-specific data.

Audit Logs: These logs contain audit records that provide information about activities performed on resources, generated by OCI Audit service.

Service Logs: These are logs generated by OCI services, providing information about the functioning and performance of the services.

Execution Logs is not a valid log category in OCI Logging. There are no "execution logs" as a defined category for the Logging service.

When a deployment stage fails in a OCI DevOps Deployment Pipeline, the recommended approach is to roll back to the previous successful version to ensure that the production environment remains in a stable state. This approach minimizes disruption and ensures that your system continues to function properly while the issue with the failed deployment is investigated and fixed.

Step 1: Understanding the Requirement

The objective is to store the resulting build output from a Build Pipeline in acontainer repository. In OCI DevOps, the build output is stored as anartifact, which can include Docker images or other build-generated files. To store these artifacts in a container repository, you need to explicitlydeliver artifactsin the pipeline.

Step 2: Explanation of the Options

A. Trigger deployment

This stage is used to trigger adeployment pipeline, which comes after the artifacts are already stored and prepared for deployment.

Not applicable: This stage is downstream of storing artifacts and is used for deploying software, not for saving the build output to a repository.

B. Managed build

The managed build stage is where youcompile, test, and package the application. This has already been completed successfully according to the question.

Not applicable: The question specifies that the build has been completed, so this stage is not relevant at this point.

C. Deliver artifacts

TheDeliver Artifactsstage in OCI DevOps pipelines is designed tostore the output of the build process in an artifact repository, such as:

OCI Container Registry (OCIR)for Docker images.

Artifact Registryfor build artifacts like binaries or JAR files.

Applicable and Correct Answer: This is the correct next step for storing the resulting output of a build pipeline.

D. Export packages

This is not a standard OCI DevOps pipeline stage. It may be relevant in other contexts but is not related to OCI DevOps for storing build artifacts.

Step 3: Key Concepts of "Deliver Artifacts" in OCI DevOps

Purpose: Save build outputs (artifacts) to an artifact repository.

Artifact Types: Includes Docker container images, binaries, JAR files, or other build outputs.

Repositories Supported:

OCI Container Registry (OCIR)

OCI Artifact Registry

Configuration:

Specify the artifact source (build stage output).

Define the destination repository (e.g., OCIR).
