I have created this blog to share resources used to prepare for my Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Associate Exam. The exam will be done using Online proctoring which will be my first time. Unfortunately, I am unable to take advantage of the test center option because it is not available using the Race to Certification program. As a result, I end up scheduling the exam at my work office because I have no proper enclosed sound proof room in my house to do a proctored exam.
Exam Number: 1Z0-1072-23
