Oracle Exam 1Z0-1109-23 Topic 9 Question 21 Discussion

The OCI service that can be used as a target deployment environment for adopting a DevOps framework and a consumption-based pricing model, while providing features like automated rollouts and rollbacks, self-healing of failed containers, and configuration management, without the overhead of managing security patches and scaling, is OCI Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) with virtual nodes. OKE is a fully managed service that allows you to run and manage your containerized applications on OCI using Kubernetes, an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. OKE provides features such as automated rollouts and rollbacks, self-healing of failed containers, configuration management, service discovery, load balancing, etc. OKE also supports virtual nodes, which are serverless compute resources that are automatically provisioned and scaled by OCI based on your application workload demands. Virtual nodes eliminate the need for managing worker node infrastructure, such as security patches, updates, scaling, etc. Virtual nodes also offer a consumption-based pricing model, where you only pay for the resources you consume when your containers are running.
