1Z0-1072-25 Question 280
Select 2Your organization uses multiple Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage file systems across different departments. The monthly bill has increased significantly, and you need to identify where usage has spiked and plan for potential capacity expansions. Which TWO approaches will help you accurately analyze File Storage usage and track continued consumption trends?
- A
Use the OS-level 'df' or 'du' commands on each mounted file system to obtain detailed directory-level usage information.
- B
Review File Storage usage metrics in the OCI Monitoring service to track overall file system capacity utilization and growth trends.
- C
Provision an additional ephemeral storage service dedicated solely to usage analytics on explicit departmental shares.
- D
Enable cross-region replication of each file system daily to preserve usage data for external reporting tools.
- E
Set up Object Lifecycle Management in the OCI console to automatically archive seldom-accessed data from file systems.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To analyze File Storage usage and meter consumption in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you typically rely on two methods: (1) Operating-system-level tools such as 'df' or 'du' for detailed directory or mount-level insights, and (2) OCI Monitoring metrics for an aggregated overview of file system usage and trends. These approaches help identify where the usage spikes occur and guide capacity planning or policy-based expansions. Refer to OCI documentation on File Storage and Monitoring for more details on available usage metrics and best practices.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Running 'df' or 'du' on the client where the file system is mounted provides granular, directory-level data. This helps you see which specific folders or departments consume the most space.
- B. Correct.
Correct. OCI's Monitoring service surfaces key metrics like 'bytes used' for each File Storage system. By reviewing these metrics over time, you can spot usage trends and forecast potential capacity issues.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Using an ephemeral storage service for analytics is generally not recommended for File Storage usage analysis. It adds extra complexity and does not directly provide the underlying file system usage insights.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While replication may help with disaster recovery or data redundancy, it does not inherently provide a breakdown of which directories or departments are consuming storage or track usage trends in detail.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Object Lifecycle Management applies to OCI Object Storage rather than File Storage. You cannot rely on it to automatically move data within File Storage to manage usage patterns.
