The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 Multicloud Architect Professional exam, code 1Z0-1151-25, tests whether you can run Oracle Database services inside Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud and connect those environments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure securely. It suits cloud architects, platform engineers and database specialists who design or operate workloads that span OCI and another hyperscaler. This page summarizes the format, domains, cost, validity and registration so you can confirm current details with Oracle before booking.
Oracle refreshes its OCI exams every year. The 2024 version of this exam (1Z0-1151-24) retired on June 30, 2025, and one community source reports that the 2025 versions of OCI exams retire on May 29, 2026. In August 2026 Oracle announced that certification titles no longer carry a calendar year, and that its Multicloud track now has separate professional certifications for Oracle Database@AWS, Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle Database@Google Cloud. If you are planning to sit the exam today, open Oracle University’s certification page first and confirm whether 1Z0-1151-25 is still offered or has been replaced by one of the newer credentials.
This certification validates the ability to design and implement architectures that place Oracle Cloud Infrastructure alongside other cloud platforms. The emphasis is practical: connecting clouds, federating identity, and provisioning and managing Oracle database services that run in a partner cloud’s data centers. Roughly half of the exam concerns the Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle Database@Google Cloud offerings, so it is a narrow, specialist credential rather than a general OCI architecture exam.
Oracle does not list a mandatory prerequisite certification. In practice, the exam assumes working knowledge of OCI Identity Domains, Virtual Cloud Network components and OCI database services such as Base Database, Autonomous Database and HeatWave. If you hold no OCI credential at all, the free OCI Architect Associate certification is a sensible starting point, though it is optional.
Reported details are a 90 minute session with 50 questions, delivered in multiple choice format. Oracle sets the passing score, and 68 percent is the figure most commonly cited for its professional level exams, so treat it as something to verify at registration. The fee is about USD 245, though pricing varies by country and local currency. Oracle exams are generally delivered through Pearson VUE, either online with a proctor or at a test center, but check the current delivery options on Oracle’s site.
Third party summaries of the exam objectives describe these areas:
Introduction to Multicloud: multicloud concepts, benefits and common use cases with OCI. This is the smallest domain, at roughly one tenth of the exam.
Core OCI services: federating OCI Identity Domains with external identity providers, implementing Virtual Cloud Network components, and administering OCI database services.
Configure multicloud connection options: secure connectivity between OCI and other clouds, including Site to Site VPN, FastConnect, and the Oracle Interconnect arrangements for Azure and Google Cloud.
Oracle Database@Azure: architecture, onboarding, provisioning and management of Oracle databases hosted in Azure.
Oracle Database@Google Cloud: architecture, onboarding, provisioning and lifecycle management of Oracle databases hosted in Google Cloud.
Domain weightings differ between sources, and they change when Oracle revises the objectives. Download the current exam topics from Oracle rather than relying on any percentage you see on a third party page, including ours.
Registration runs through Oracle University. In general you sign in with an Oracle account, locate the exam by its code, pay the fee, and then schedule a delivery option through Oracle’s testing partner. Exact steps, accepted ID and online proctoring requirements can change, so follow the instructions shown at checkout. Oracle also posts promotions and free certification options from time to time, so check before paying the full fee.
Few credentials certify the skill of running Oracle database workloads inside Azure or Google Cloud, and that is exactly what this one targets. It is relevant to teams migrating Oracle estates to a hyperscaler while keeping Oracle’s database engine and licensing model, and to consultants who connect Oracle Exadata based services to Azure or Google Cloud applications. It pairs naturally with OCI networking or architect credentials, since it adds multicloud coverage rather than repeating them. Hiring managers for Oracle migration, database platform and cloud networking roles are the most likely to recognize it.
Time in the OCI, Azure and Google Cloud consoles matters most for this exam, but practice questions help you find weak domains and get used to scenario wording. The free practice tests on can serve as a readiness check once you have worked through Oracle’s own learning path and documentation.
