1Z0-1072-25 Question 275
Single answerYour company� production environment uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage to store large amounts of application data. You want to create a development environment that replicates the latest production data for testing without incurring significant additional storage costs. Which approach achieves this goal with minimal overhead?
- A
Create a snapshot of the production file system in OCI File Storage, then clone that snapshot into a new file system for development
- B
Use a Compute instance to perform a manual rsync of the production file system data into a new file system
- C
Detach the production file system, attach it to the development environment, and then reattach it back to production when testing is complete
- D
Perform a block volume backup of the File Storage data and restore it as a new file system for development
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage snapshots and clones let you quickly create and provision new environments that share the original file system� data blocks, significantly reducing storage overhead and eliminating downtime. For more information, refer to the 'Snapshots and Clones' section of the OCI File Storage documentation.
- A. Correct.
Correct. OCI File Storage allows you to create snapshots that are point-in-time, read-only images of the file system. You can then clone a snapshot to create a new file system, which shares the underlying data blocks with the source. This minimizes additional storage usage and avoids disrupting the production environment.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Although rsync is a valid data transfer method, it involves copying the entire data set manually, which can be time-consuming and consume additional storage. It� not leveraging File Storage snapshots and clones, which are more efficient for this purpose.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Detaching the production file system and reattaching it to development would cause downtime for the production environment, which is not recommended. This approach also adds unnecessary complexity and risk.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Block volume backups apply to Block Storage volumes, not File Storage. You cannot directly create a block volume backup of an OCI File Storage system and restore it as a File Storage clone.
