A 311 request-reply API and fair work distribution across producers share one OCI Queue. Which Queue feature provides ephemeral destinations for fairness and caller-specific replies?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Channels are lightweight destinations inside a queue—up to 256, created on demand. Producers can target a channel; consumers can drain the whole queue fairly or read a specific channel for request-reply. They are not Streaming partitions.
Full Explanation
Official Queue channels are ephemeral in-queue destinations (up to 256) that share the parent’s encryption and permissions. Consumers reading the whole queue get fairness across channels with work; selecting by channel id enables request-reply on the caller’s channel. Empty channels go away. Do not equate channels with Streaming partitions or replace them with Events filters or Vault constructs.
