1Z0-1072-25 Question 284
Single answerYour organization runs a critical application on an OCI File Storage file system in the Phoenix region. You have been tasked with establishing cross-region replication to the Ashburn region to protect against regional outages. Which approach should you take to configure and maintain this replication with minimal manual overhead?
- A
Use the File Storage service replication feature to create a replication from the existing file system in Phoenix to a new file system in Ashburn, letting OCI handle incremental synchronization automatically.
- B
Export the data to a block volume in Phoenix, then enable built-in block volume cross-region replication to replicate it to Ashburn.
- C
Create an Object Storage bucket in Phoenix and configure cross-region replication to a bucket in Ashburn, then regularly copy file system data to the Phoenix bucket.
- D
Write a scheduled job that periodically copies (rsync) snapshots from the Phoenix file system to an existing file system in Ashburn.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure File Storage offers a built-in replication feature that is specifically designed for replicating file systems across regions. Configuring replication in the File Storage console or via the OCI CLI automatically handles data synchronization, ensuring consistency and reducing manual intervention. Refer to OCI File Storage documentation for detailed steps and best practices on creating, monitoring, and managing file system replication.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Oracle File Storage service natively supports cross-region replication. You create (or select) a target file system in the Ashburn region, configure replication from the source file system in Phoenix, and the service automatically handles incremental updates. This is the recommended approach for minimal manual overhead and near real-time data protection.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Block volume replication is different from file storage replication. Mounting the file system data onto a block volume is not the intended method for file system replication, and it adds unnecessary complexity.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Object Storage cross-region replication is designed for object replication, not directly replicating file system shares. You could do manual copies of file system data to Object Storage, but it would be less efficient and more error-prone than native File Storage replication.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Using rsync or manual copies can work but does not leverage the built-in replication feature, increasing complexity and ongoing administration effort. It also lacks the incremental, automated mechanics provided by the File Storage service.
