1Z0-1072-25 Question 182
Select 2You are designing the storage infrastructure for an e-commerce platform in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). New product images are uploaded regularly to meet high customer demand, but over time most of these images become rarely accessed. The business needs to minimize monthly storage costs while ensuring images remain available and implement a disaster recovery plan in a different region. Which two solutions should you implement to meet these requirements?
- A
Store all images in a single Standard Tier Object Storage bucket with no lifecycle policy and rely on on-demand retrieval for older images.
- B
Implement a lifecycle policy to move older images from Object Storage Standard Tier to Archive Storage and configure retrieval for infrequent access.
- C
Use Block Volumes to store all product images and schedule daily full backups to Object Storage.
- D
Enable Cross-Region replication from the primary Object Storage bucket to a bucket in another region.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D
Explanation
Using Object Storage Standard Tier with a lifecycle policy takes advantage of cost-optimization and easy access for recent images. Over time, infrequently accessed images automatically move to Archive Storage, lowering costs while allowing on-demand retrieval. Additionally, enabling Cross-Region replication for Object Storage ensures that your data is available in multiple regions, supporting disaster recovery objectives. For more details, refer to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation on Object Storage lifecycle policies, Archive Storage, and Cross-Region replication.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1 is incorrect. While storing images in Standard Tier without a lifecycle policy keeps data readily accessible, it is not cost-efficient for rarely accessed images. You miss out on cost savings by automatically moving older, infrequently accessed objects to cheaper storage tiers.
- B. Correct.
Option 2 is correct. Implementing a lifecycle policy to move older images to the Archive tier reduces costs for infrequently accessed data while maintaining the ability to retrieve images when needed. This approach leverages the built-in lifecycle management features of OCI Object Storage.
- C. Incorrect.
Option 3 is incorrect. Block Volumes are designed for storing block-based data, such as operating system disks or databases, rather than large quantities of static content like images. This approach also adds unnecessary complexity and cost compared to using Object Storage tiers for unstructured data.
- D. Correct.
Option 4 is correct. Enabling Cross-Region replication helps satisfy disaster recovery requirements by maintaining copies of your data in another geographic area. If the primary region becomes unavailable, you still have access to your images in the secondary region.
