Question 15

Question

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), how are Security Lists different from Network Security Groups
(NSGs) in terms of their functionality and application?

Accepted Answer

A Security List defines a set of security rules that applies to all the VNICs in a subnet whereas a
Network Security Group lets you define a set of security rules that applies to a group of VNICs in a
Virtual Cloud Network (VCN)

Option C, but if you assign a VNIC to multiple NSGs, you get even more granular control than with Security Lists alone.

I've seen similar in recent exam reports, pretty sure it's C

Nathan F. · Answer

C

Parker C. · Answer

C Security Lists for all VNICs in subnet, NSGs target groups of VNICs. Confident but double check OCI docs.

Liam S. · Answer

C is right in this case. Security Lists cover the whole subnet (so every VNIC), but NSGs let you create tighter rules for just chosen VNICs, not everything. D looks like a distractor since they're not just renamed per region. Anyone see OCI change this lately?
