CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 102

For compliance purposes, a cloud developer at an insurance company needs to save all customer policies for more than ten years. Which of the following options is the most cost-efficient tier to save the data in the cloud?

Answer options

• A. Archive
• B. Hot
• C. Cold
• D. Warm

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Archive tier is designed for long-term data storage, making it the most cost-effective choice for retaining customer policies for over ten years. The Hot tier is intended for frequently accessed data, which would be more expensive, while the Cold and Warm tiers are generally not optimized for such long-term storage and may incur higher costs or limitations.
