Q: 14
You are tasked with migrating a critical, latency-sensitive application from Azure to OCI. Due to compliance requirements, all data must be encrypted in transit. Which connectivity option provides the BEST combination of security and performance for this migration?
Options

Option A
Makes sense picking B for this, especially since low latency is a must and ExpressRoute plus FastConnect beat VPNs on performance. Option B
A imo, because IPSec on VPN gives you strong encryption and it's a simple setup. Might not be as fast as dedicated links but I thought VPNs are still pretty solid, especially if latency isn't that extreme. Maybe a trap here with B looking too complex.
B VPN gives encryption, but for lowest latency and best performance you need ExpressRoute plus FastConnect with TLS.
Yeah, for compliance and really low latency, it's gotta be B. VPN with IPSec (A) is secure but not as fast as ExpressRoute plus FastConnect, especially for critical migrations. TLS on top just seals the deal for in-transit encryption. Pretty sure that's the intended solution here.
A tbh, since IPSec VPN seems secure and straightforward for encryption. Not sure if it’s the fastest option though, but I thought VPNs are good enough for most migrations? The whole ExpressRoute plus FastConnect setup in B feels way more advanced, maybe for bigger orgs. Am I missing something?
