Explanation
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) API Gateway supports various backend-types to handle incoming requests and route them to the appropriate backend service. However, "ORACLE_STREAMS_BACKEND" is not a valid backend-type in OCI API Gateway. "STOCK_RESPONSE_BACKEND" is a valid backend-type that allows you to configure static responses directly in the API Gateway without routing requests to any specific backend service. This can be useful for handling simple requests or returning predefined responses. "HTTP BACKEND" is another valid backend-type that enables routing requests to an HTTP backend service.
"ORACLE_FUNCTIONS_BACKEND" is a valid backend-type that allows you to route requests to Oracle Functions, which are serverless functions that can be used to execute specific logic or operations. However,
"ORACLE_STREAMS_BACKEND" is not a valid backend-type in OCI API Gateway. The API Gateway does not have native support for Oracle Streams as a backend service. Oracle Streams is a feature of Oracle Database that provides a publish-subscribe mechanism for data replication and distribution within an Oracle Database environment. It is not directly integrated as a backend service in OCI API Gateway.

To address the requirement of extracting and transforming data from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Streaming service and sending it to a third-party REST endpoint using the OCI Service Connector Hub, the best configuration option is: Configure a new service connector as follows: * Source: Streaming * Task: None * Target: Notifications By selecting the Streaming service as the source, you can capture the transactional data from the stream. Since there is a need to transform and send the data to a third-party REST endpoint, you don't need to specify any specific task in the connector. The target is set to Notifications, which allows you to send the transformed data to an endpoint outside of the OCI environment. Notifications can be configured to deliver the data to various supported destinations, including HTTP endpoints, email addresses, and more. This configuration enables you to automate the process of extracting data from the streaming service and sending it to the desired third-party REST endpoint, fulfilling the requirement of extracting, transforming, and forwarding the data.

(OPT) iad.ocir.io/myproject/heyoci/myapp:latest The three valid tags for an image named myapp in the heyoci namespace of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Registry (OCIR) in the us-ashburn-1 (iad) region are: iad.ccir.io/heyoci/myapp:latest This tag specifies the latest version of the myapp image in the heyoci namespace in the iad region. iad.ocir.io/heyoci/myapp:0.0.2-beta This tag specifies version 0.0.2-beta of the myapp image in the heyoci namespace in the iad region. us-ashburn-1.ocir.io/heyoci/myapp:0.0.2-beta This tag specifies version 0.0.2-beta of the myapp image in the heyoci namespace in the us-ashburn-1 region. The other options mentioned are not valid tags for the given scenario: us-ashburn-1.ocir.io/heyoci/myapp:0.0.2-beta (incorrect format, missing the namespace) iad.ocir.io/myproject/heyoci/myapp:latest (incorrect format, incorrect order of namespace and project) us-ashburn-1.ocir.io/myproject/heyoci/myapp:latest (incorrect format, incorrect order of namespace and project) The correct format for tagging an image in OCIR is <region>.ocir.io/<namespace>/<repository>:<tag>.

Explanation
OCI Queue is a service for enabling asynchronous (decoupled) communication in a serverless manner3. Queue handles high-volume transactional data that requires independent processing without loss or duplication3. Queue supports ordering of messages within a queue by using the FIFO (first-in-first-out) delivery option3. Therefore, using a single queue to process all transactions ensures that all transactions are processed in order and that no transaction is lost.Verified References: Overview of Queue

Explanation
The two correct differences between continuous delivery and continuous deployment in the DevOps lifecycle are: Continuous delivery is a process that initiates deployment manually, while continuous deployment is based on automating the deployment process. In continuous delivery, the software is ready for deployment, but the decision to deploy is made manually by a human. On the other hand, continuous deployment automates the deployment process, and once the software passes all the necessary tests and quality checks, it is automatically deployed without human intervention. Continuous delivery utilizes automatic deployment to a development environment, while continuous deployment involves automatic deployment to a production environment. In continuous delivery, the software is automatically deployed to a development or staging environment for further testing and validation. However, the actual deployment to the production environment is performed manually. In continuous deployment, the software is automatically deployed to the production environment, eliminating the need for manual intervention in the deployment process. These differences highlight the level of automation and human involvement in the deployment process between continuous delivery and continuous deployment approaches in the DevOps lifecycle.
