Deploy a Serverless Function and Access Using an API Gateway
Deployment in OCI
Scenario
You have joined ACME as their new Cloud Solutions Architect. Your organization wants to verify if
they can execute their microservices deployed as serverless functions on another cloud provider
using Oracle Functions in OCI.
Preconfigured
To complete this requirement, you are provided with the following:
• Access to an OCI Tenancy, an assigned compartment, and OCI credentials.
• Access to Cloud Shell to execute the Fn CLI and Docker commands.
• Code for a sample Python function, ExamFunction-main.zip.
• Permissions to perform only the tasks within the challenge.
Note: Throughout your exam, ensure to use assigned Compartment 99248134-
C01 and Region us-ashburn-1
Having deployed a private function to an Oracle Functions application in OCI as proof-of-concept,
demonstrate that it can be invoked via a public API Gateway deployment. Before you proceed
further, ensure that you have created the following resources:
• An OCI VCN in your compartment for hosting the API Gateway2
• The hello-python function deployed to a Functions application in your compartment
Complete the following tasks in the provisioned OCI environment:
1. Create a new public API Gateway in your compartment named exam-gateway.
2. Create a new API Deployment named exam-deployment using /v1 as the path prefix
in exam-gateway.
3. Create a new route by using /hello as the path and GET as the method. The route must
invoke the hello-python function.
4. Create a new stateful CIDR Ingress Rule that allows for TCP HTTPS traffic (port 443) from all
IP addresses and ports in the default Security List for exam-vcn.
5. Use curl to call the function via your API Gateway deployment.
curl -k -X GET {deployment-endpoint}/hell

Complete the following tasks in the provisioned OCI environment:
Create a new private repository in the Container Registry named {username}/hellopythonwithin your assigned compartment.
For example: If your user name is 99346163-lab.user02, then name the registry as 99346163-
lab.user02/hello-python.
Your username is 99248134-lab.user01
You are running a mission-critical database application in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
You regular backups of your DB system to OCI Object Storage. Recently, you notice a failed
database back status in the console. • Ensure that the database is not active and running while
the backup is in progress.
What troubleshooting action can you perform to determine the cause of the backup failure?
