1Z0-1067-25 Question 86
Single answerYou are tasked with implementing a data retention strategy in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for a large financial firm. Their policy states that data must remain immediately accessible for the first year but can be moved to more cost-effective storage afterward, provided it is retained for a total period of five years. Which solution would best meet these requirements with minimal manual intervention?
- A
Use Oracle Autonomous Database auto-scaling to automatically reduce cost for older data.
- B
Export older data to an on-premises tape library after one year to fulfill retention needs.
- C
Configure multiple Object Storage Lifecycle Management rules to move data from Standard tier to Infrequent Access after one year, and then to Archive tier at five years.
- D
Create a single lifecycle rule to move all data directly to the Archive tier once it is over one year old.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Implementing a tiered retention strategy in OCI often involves creating Object Storage Lifecycle Management rules. This allows data to remain in Standard tier for frequent access initially, move to Infrequent Access as it ages, and finally transition to Archive tier for long-term retention. By defining multiple lifecycle rules, you minimize costs, reduce administrative overhead, and comply with data retention policies. Refer to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation on Object Storage Lifecycle Management for best practices and rule configurations.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1 is incorrect. Auto-scaling in Autonomous Database adjusts compute and other resources based on usage; it does not directly manage or transfer stored data between storage tiers for long-term retention.
- B. Incorrect.
Option 2 is incorrect. Exporting data to on-premises tape might fulfill compliance for archival, but it increases operational overhead and maintenance. It also does not leverage OCI� native lifecycle management features.
- C. Correct.
Option 3 is correct. By defining multiple lifecycle rules, you can seamlessly transition data from Standard to Infrequent Access after one year, and finally to Archive at five years without manual intervention. This approach reduces costs while meeting retention requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4 is incorrect. Moving data directly to Archive after one year would minimize costs but compromise quick retrievals during years two through five, violating the requirement to keep data accessible until the five-year mark.
