1Z0-1072-25 Question 225
Single answerYou are designing a log retention solution for a financial services application. Security audits require that logs are instantly accessible for the first 30 days. After 30 days, the logs are rarely accessed but must remain immediately retrievable at any point for at least five years. Which Object Storage configuration best meets these requirements while minimizing storage costs?
- A
Store logs in the Standard tier for 30 days, then move them to the Archive tier.
- B
Keep all logs in the Standard tier for the entire five-year period.
- C
Store logs in the Standard tier for 30 days, then move them to the Infrequent Access tier.
- D
Directly place all logs in the Archive tier from day one for the full retention period.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers distinct Object Storage tiers to balance cost and accessibility. The Standard tier is ideal for frequently accessed data, while the Infrequent Access tier reduces costs for data that must remain immediately retrievable but is not accessed often. The Archive tier provides the lowest cost but requires a restore action that delays data retrieval. In this scenario, moving logs from Standard to Infrequent Access meets compliance (instant access) and cost-saving objectives. Refer to Oracle docs (https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Object/Concepts/objectstorageoverview.htm) for more details on choosing the right tier.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1: Storing logs in the Standard tier initially is correct for immediate needs, but moving them to the Archive tier means they would require a restore operation before retrieval. This introduces a delay and does not meet the requirement for instant availability.
- B. Incorrect.
Option 2: Keeping logs in Standard tier for the entire retention period ensures immediate access but is more expensive than necessary. Although it satisfies the access requirements, it does not effectively minimize costs over five years.
- C. Correct.
Option 3: Starting in Standard tier for frequently accessed logs (first 30 days), then transitioning to Infrequent Access Tier provides cost savings while still allowing immediate retrieval. This configuration meets both the access and cost-optimization requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4: Placing logs directly in the Archive tier from day one is very cost-efficient, but it fails to provide the immediate retrieval needed for scheduled or random audits. An Archive restore request takes time, which violates the instant access requirement.
