1Z0-1067-25 Question 85
Single answerAn online retailer must retain web server logs for 2 years to satisfy regulatory requirements. They currently store these logs in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage. To reduce costs, they want logs to automatically move to a lower-cost tier after 90 days and be deleted at the end of the 2-year retention period. Which approach best addresses these requirements?
- A
Create an Object Storage bucket in Standard tier, manually move the logs to Archive tier after 90 days, and manually delete them after 2 years.
- B
Use Object Lifecycle Management on a Standard-tier bucket to transition logs to Archive tier after 90 days, and configure the lifecycle policy to delete them at the 2-year mark.
- C
Rely on Oracle Logging service default retention to keep logs for 2 years and automatically delete them afterward without additional configuration.
- D
Keep the logs in Standard tier for 2 years to ensure constant availability and manually purge them once the compliance requirement is met.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Using Object Lifecycle Management is a recommended best practice for controlling both the cost and duration of data storage in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. By setting the lifecycle rules to transition data to Archive storage after a specified period, organizations can leverage lower-cost tiers before automatically deleting data once the compliance requirement is fulfilled. Refer to Oracle's documentation on Object Storage Lifecycle Policies for more details on configuring tier transitions and deletions.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Manually moving and deleting logs can be labor-intensive, prone to human error, and deviates from a fully automated data retention strategy. While technically possible, it� not the most efficient or cost-effective setup.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Object Lifecycle Management rules allow you to automatically transition logs from Standard tier to Archive tier after a specified timeframe, and also specify a date or age for automatic deletion. This meets both cost and compliance requirements without ongoing manual intervention.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Oracle Logging service typically has shorter retention defaults (e.g., 30 days or up to a few months for certain logs), not 2 years. You�d need offloading or a different service to preserve logs for 2 years. Simply selecting default logging retention will not satisfy this requirement.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Storing logs in Standard tier for the entire 2 years may result in higher costs. Additionally, manual deletion is more error-prone compared to an automated lifecycle policy.
