1Z0-1072-25 Question 213
Single answerYour organization has a mission-critical application storing large files in an OCI Object Storage bucket in the Phoenix region. You need to replicate all new and existing objects to a bucket in the Ashburn region for disaster recovery. You have created the target bucket in Ashburn, enabled versioning on both buckets, and defined a replication policy from the Phoenix bucket to the Ashburn bucket. New objects created in the Phoenix bucket appear in the Ashburn bucket as expected, but older objects are not being replicated. Which step must you take to ensure existing objects are also replicated?
- A
Enable the 'Replicate Existing Objects' setting in the replication policy on the Phoenix bucket.
- B
Disable and re-enable versioning on both buckets to trigger a fresh policy application.
- C
Create a corresponding replication policy on the Ashburn bucket to pull existing objects from the Phoenix bucket.
- D
Use Data Transfer Service to manually migrate older objects to the Ashburn bucket.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure cross-region replication for Object Storage is configured at the source bucket level. After enabling versioning on both buckets, you create a replication policy specifying the target bucket in another region. However, to ensure that objects already present in the source bucket are also included, you must enable 'Replicate Existing Objects' in the replication policy. For detailed steps, refer to the official OCI documentation on Object Storage cross-region replication.
- A. Correct.
Correct. By default, cross-region replication only replicates new or updated objects after you create the policy. To replicate objects already in the source bucket, you must explicitly enable 'Replicate Existing Objects' in the source bucket� replication policy.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Disabling and re-enabling versioning does not automatically replicate existing objects. It simply resets versioning and could disrupt your existing version history.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. You create the replication policy on the source bucket, not on the target, and it is a push-based approach. The target bucket does not pull objects from the source.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While you can manually move existing objects with Data Transfer Service, this does not configure ongoing replication for those objects. The recommended approach is to enable the existing-object replication setting in the replication policy.
