CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 26

A video surveillance system records road incidents and stores the videos locally before uploading them to the cloud and deleting them from local storage. Which of the following best describes the nature of the local storage?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as 'ephemeral' refers to data that is temporary and will be deleted after use, which fits the description of the local storage that holds video recordings briefly before uploading to the cloud. Option A, 'persistent', indicates that data is meant to be retained for a long duration, which does not apply here since the videos are deleted. Options C and D, 'differential' and 'incremental', relate to backup strategies rather than the temporary nature of storage.
