What are two considerations when installing Web Servers? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AThe web server can be installed outside the firewall.
• BWeb server components should be installed on a separate VM.
• CWeb server components should always be installed along with the application server.
• DWeb server is not mandatory and is optional.
• EThe web server cannot be separated from its corresponding application servers across a firewall.

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  11% (2)
• D
  79% (15)

Explanation

D is correct because in enterprise application server architectures (such as Oracle Fusion Middleware), the web server component (e.g., Oracle HTTP Server) is optional - the application server's built-in HTTP listener can serve requests directly without a separate web server layer.

E is correct because the web server communicates with its paired application server via internal protocols (such as mod_wl or AJP connectors) that are not designed to traverse firewalls; placing a firewall between them would break that internal communication channel.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect - while placing a web server in a DMZ is a common pattern, this answer implies it is a general installation consideration, and the specific constraint here is the firewall separation between web and app servers (contradicted by E).
• B is incorrect - installing web server components on a separate VM is not a stated requirement; co-location is often perfectly valid.
• C is incorrect - it directly contradicts D; the web server is not mandatory and should not always be bundled with the application server.

Memory tip: Think "Detachable and Entangled" - the web server is Detachable (optional) from the architecture, but once included, it is Entangled with its application server and cannot be firewalled away from it.
