1Z0-1072-25 Question 217
Single answerYour organization stores daily application backup files in an OCI Object Storage bucket. These files must remain in the Standard tier for quick access for 60 days and then automatically transition to Archive Storage to reduce costs. You have been asked to set up this workflow with minimal manual intervention. Which action should you take to meet these requirements?
- A
Enable bucket versioning and manually archive each previous version after 60 days.
- B
Configure a bucket lifecycle policy to move objects older than 60 days to Archive Storage.
- C
Set up cross-region replication to a second region, then manually delete older files in the primary region.
- D
Apply a retention rule preventing object deletion for 60 days, followed by a manual move to Archive Storage.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The optimal approach is to implement a lifecycle policy on the Object Storage bucket. Lifecycle policies allow you to define rules, such as moving objects older than 60 days from the Standard tier to Archive Storage automatically. This approach requires minimal manual intervention and is recommended by Oracle best practices for managing object storage life cycles. Refer to the official OCI documentation under 'Managing Object Lifecycle Policies' for more details on configuring such policies.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Although versioning preserves different versions of objects, it does not automatically move them to Archive Storage. You would still need additional manual steps to archive older versions.
- B. Correct.
Correct. A bucket lifecycle policy can be configured to transition objects from the Standard tier to Archive Storage automatically when they exceed 60 days, meeting both accessibility and cost-optimization goals.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cross-region replication duplicates data to another region, but it does not inherently migrate objects to Archive Storage or automatically delete them after a certain period.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A retention rule can prevent deletion of objects for a specified duration (helpful for compliance), but it does not automatically transition objects to Archive Storage after that period. Additional manual actions would be required.
