1Z0-1123-25 Question 109
Single answerYou have an OCI Object Storage bucket in the Ashburn region containing large volumes of business-critical data. Your compliance team wants a copy of all new and updated objects to be automatically maintained in a bucket located in the Frankfurt region. Which approach best ensures continuous, automated replication of any new or modified objects from the source to the target bucket?
- A
Create a replication policy on the Ashburn bucket specifying the Frankfurt bucket as the destination.
- B
Use the Object Copy CLI command daily to copy all new or updated objects from Ashburn to Frankfurt.
- C
Enable cross-compartment replication by setting a global 'Replication Enabled' flag on all buckets within your tenancy.
- D
Configure a lifecycle policy in the Ashburn bucket to transition objects to the Frankfurt bucket as a different storage tier.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To meet the requirement for continuous, automated replication between OCI Object Storage buckets in different regions, you should configure a replication policy on the source bucket. This policy continuously and automatically replicates new or updated objects to the destination bucket in another region, fulfilling compliance requirements. For more details, refer to the 'Using Replication for Object Storage' section of the official Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Creating a replication policy on the source bucket in Ashburn with the Frankfurt bucket as the target is the recommended approach. This ensures that any new or updated object is copied automatically. The replication feature is designed for continuous, near-real-time replication without manual intervention.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Running an Object Copy command daily would be manual and prone to human error or scheduling issues. It does not provide continuous replication for compliance or real-time protection.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: There is no single global flag that enables cross-compartment replication automatically. Replication policies must be configured at the bucket level.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Lifecycle policies are primarily used to transition objects between storage tiers (Standard, Archive) within the same region or same bucket. They are not a substitute for cross-region replication and do not meet the requirement to maintain a separate copy in another region.
