Course coverage
What This 1Z0-1109-25 Page Covers
Use this 10-section 1Z0-1109-25 preparation path to study OCI DevOps in clear, manageable stages instead of treating CI/CD as one large block. You will review OCI DevOps projects, source-code management, build pipelines, artifact delivery, deployment targets, OKE, Functions, Compute, Resource Manager, Terraform, DevSecOps controls, observability, and troubleshooting.
Move between repositories, builds, artifacts, deployments, infrastructure automation, and security controls during revision so the OCI DevOps lifecycle becomes easier to interpret from commit to production.
