1Z0-1072-25 Question 214
Single answerYour organization wants to automatically replicate all new objects from an existing Object Storage bucket in the primary region to a secondary region for disaster recovery. Which approach should you choose to configure and maintain cross-region replication with minimal administrative overhead?
- A
Create a separate bucket in the secondary region and use daily manual data transfers via the OCI CLI to ensure all new objects are copied.
- B
Configure an Object Storage Replication Policy on the existing bucket. Specify the target bucket in the secondary region and ensure both buckets have the same lifecycle policies.
- C
Write a custom application using the OCI SDK to copy each new object from the primary bucket to the secondary region immediately after upload.
- D
Enable block volume replication on the primary region and attach the block volume to a compute instance in the secondary region to copy the bucket data.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Using the built-in Object Storage Replication Policy is the recommended approach for cross-region replication in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It ensures new objects are automatically copied to the destination region with minimal effort. According to OCI documentation, you create a target bucket in the secondary region, then configure a replication policy on the source bucket to specify the target bucket. This policy handles ongoing replication without requiring manual intervention or additional tools.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Relying on daily manual transfers via the OCI CLI introduces a significant operational burden and can lead to data lag or missed uploads if schedules fail.
- B. Correct.
Correct. An Object Storage Replication Policy is designed for precisely this purpose. Once configured, it automatically replicates new objects to the specified target bucket in another region with minimal overhead.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While a custom application might work, it is not the optimal or simplest solution. Maintaining such an application requires extra effort and is more error-prone compared to using a built-in replication policy.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Block volume replication is not applicable for replicating Object Storage buckets. It specifically handles data replication for block volumes, not object data.
