1Z0-1072-25 Question 282
Select 2Your organization has noticed a sudden spike in the consumed capacity of your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) File Storage used by a high-performance computing (HPC) workload. You suspect certain directories and old snapshots may be driving up usage and costs. Which two actions would help you identify and analyze the most capacity-consuming directories or snapshots, so you can manage your resources more effectively?
- A
Mount the File Storage system to an OCI Compute instance and run the 'du' command to determine large directories or files.
- B
Use the OCI Cost Analysis console to break down individual file system usage at the directory level.
- C
Analyze File Storage metrics in the OCI Observability & Management console to view total capacity usage and snapshot consumption.
- D
Create new compartments for each large directory within the same File Storage system to isolate and meter usage separately.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To effectively analyze File Storage usage, you typically combine direct inspection (e.g., mounting the file system and running 'du') with OCI Observability & Management metrics that show total capacity, including snapshots. This helps you identify large directories, stale files, and unused snapshots quickly. OCI Cost Analysis, while helpful for understanding cost trends, does not provide a per-directory breakdown in File Storage. Refer to official OCI File Storage documentation (docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/) on mounting instructions and Observability & Management metrics to learn more about analyzing and managing storage usage.
- A. Correct.
Correct. By mounting the file system on a Compute instance, you can use native operating system tools (e.g., 'du -sh') to quickly identify large directories and files. This approach gives you direct insight into how your storage is allocated without guesswork.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While the Cost Analysis tool in OCI provides visibility into overall spending and resource utilization, it does not offer a file-level or directory-level breakdown for File Storage. It focuses on cost at a service and compartment level, not on granular directory usage.
- C. Correct.
Correct. The OCI Observability & Management console exposes File Storage metrics that display both total capacity usage and snapshot consumption. Monitoring these metrics helps you see overall trends and pinpoint when a specific snapshot or usage pattern might be driving up capacity.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Compartment segmentation is an administrative boundary in OCI but is not designed for organizing subdirectories within the same File Storage system. You cannot use compartments to meter usage at the directory level inside a single file system.
