Question

A retail company runs their online shopping platform entirely on Oracle cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This is a 3-tier web application that Includes a Mbps Load Balancer. Virtual Machine Instances for web and an Oracle DB Systems Virtual Machine. Due to unprecedented growth, they noticed an Increase in the Incoming traffic to their website and all users start getting 503 (Service Unavailable) errors. What is the potential problem in this scenario?

Options

  • AConfigure auto scaling policy and it to WAF instance.
  • BConfigure Control Rules to send traffic to multiple web servers
  • CConfigure multiple origin servers
  • DConfigure new rules based on now vulnerabilities and mitigations
  • EYou did not configure a Service Gateway to allow connection between web servers and load Balance

Explanation

Explanation/Reference: A 503 Service Unavailable Error is an HTTP response status code indicating that a server is temporarily unable to handle the request. This may be due to the site attack including DDoS which resulted in web server failing. You have decided to use Oracle Web Application Firewall (WAF) to implement an architecture which will provide protection against such attacks and ensure additional configuration will you need to implement to make sure WAF is protecting my web application 24×7. Which additional configuration will you need to Implement to make sure WAF Is protecting my web application 24×7? Explanation/Reference: Origin Management An origin is an endpoint (typically an IP address) of the application protected by the WAF. An origin can be an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure load balancer public IP address. A load balancer IP address can be used for high availability to an origin. Multiple origins can be defined, but only a single origin can be active for a WAF. You can set HTTP headers for outbound traffic from the WAF to the origin server. These name value pairs are then available to the application. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a cloud-based, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant, global security service that protects applications from malicious and unwanted internet traffic. WAF can protect any internet facing endpoint, providing consistent rule enforcement across a customer's applications. WAF provides you with the ability to create and manage rules for internet threats including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection and other OWASP-defined vulnerabilities. Unwanted bots can be mitigated while tactically allowed desirable bots to enter. Access rules can limit based on geography or the signature of the request. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) A DDoS attack is an often intentional attack that consumes an entity's resources, usually using a large number of distributed sources. DDoS can be categorized into either Layer 7 or Layer 3/4 (L3/4) A layer 7 DDoS attack is a DDoS attack that sends HTTP/S traffic to consume resources and hamper a website's ability to delivery content or to harm the owner of the site. The Web Application Firewall (WAF) service can protect layer 7 HTTP-based resources from layer 7 DDoS and other web application attack vectors.
