1Z0-1072-25 Question 223
Single answerYour organization must store server log files for seven years to meet compliance regulations. You anticipate only a few retrieval requests each year. However, you are willing to allow a restore time of several hours before these logs become accessible. Which Object Storage tier in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure best meets these requirements while optimizing costs?
- A
Store the log files in the Standard tier for the entire seven years.
- B
Store the log files in the Infrequent Access tier to benefit from immediate retrieval.
- C
Store the log files in the Archive tier to minimize costs and restore on demand.
- D
Use local block volumes instead of Object Storage for long-term retention.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Archive Storage offers the lowest cost for storing data that is seldom accessed. It requires a restore process that typically completes within hours, making it suitable for use cases, such as compliance log retention, where constant or immediate access is not necessary. Reference: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation on Object Storage Tiers.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1: Incorrect. While Standard tier ensures low-latency retrieval, it is more expensive for long-term data that you rarely need to access.
- B. Incorrect.
Option 2: Incorrect. Infrequent Access (IA) is more cost-effective than Standard and provides instant reads, but it is still more expensive than Archive when data access is infrequent.
- C. Correct.
Option 3: Correct. Archive tier has the lowest storage cost and is designed for infrequently accessed data. Restoration takes a few hours, which fits the 'several hours' requirement for occasional log retrieval.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4: Incorrect. Local block volumes are designed for active workloads and are more expensive to keep online for years. They are not intended for cost-effective archival storage.
