Click to reveal answer
A **software-defined private network** in a single OCI region. It contains subnets, route tables, gateways, and security rules. Each VCN has a regional CIDR block and can span all availability domains in that region.

They cover all 4 domains of the 1Z0-1072-26 exam: OCI Networking (35%), OCI Storage (25%), OCI Compute (20%), OCI Identity and Access Management (20%). Each section is weighted in the same proportion as the real exam, so nothing high-value is buried.
The 1Z0-1072-26 exam has approximately 50 questions in 90 minutes, with a passing score of 68%. Use the practice questions to confirm you are consistently above that line before booking the real exam.
Study in short, spaced sessions: a card you have not seen for two days is worth more than a card you reread immediately. Filter by OCI Networking first, then mix domains so you practise identifying the topic before recalling the definition.
They are the recall half of preparation. Pair the cards with practice questions and at least one timed practice exam — candidates who only review cards usually recognise terms but miss scenario questions.
