1Z0-1072-25 Question 227
Select 2A software-as-a-service (SaaS) company needs to store two types of data in OCI Object Storage: frequently accessed configuration files for an active application and large analytics logs that must be retained for compliance reasons but are rarely read. How should the company optimize costs and performance when configuring Object Storage tiers?
- A
A. Store the application� frequently accessed files in the Standard tier
- B
B. Store both the logs and the application files in the Archive tier for a single, low-cost solution
- C
C. Use a Lifecycle Policy to automatically move infrequently accessed data to the Archive tier after a set period
- D
D. Place frequently accessed data in Archive tier and restore it on demand for performance gains
- E
E. Enforce immediate retrieval constraints by setting the logs to Standard tier explicitly
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
The Standard tier is designed for active workloads that require fast, frequent access. The Archive tier offers lower cost but requires a restore process before retrieval, making it suitable for rarely accessed data. Using a Lifecycle Policy allows automated cost optimization by moving objects from Standard to Archive after they become inactive.

- A. Correct.
A. Correct. Frequently accessed files should be stored in the Standard tier to provide quick, low-latency access for the SaaS application.
- B. Incorrect.
B. Incorrect. Storing all data in Archive might lower costs but would hinder performance for items that must be accessed frequently, as Archive tier requires time to restore objects.
- C. Correct.
C. Correct. Lifecycle Policies can automatically transition objects from Standard to Archive after a specified time, reducing storage costs for data that is no longer accessed frequently.
- D. Incorrect.
D. Incorrect. Placing frequently accessed data in the Archive tier is counterproductive because it introduces delays during access. Archive tier is best for rarely accessed data.
- E. Incorrect.
E. Incorrect. While Standard tier does provide immediate retrieval, storing logs that are rarely accessed in Standard tier is more expensive over time. A better approach is to archive the logs.
