Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 62

You want to select and configure a solution for storing and archiving data on Google Cloud Platform. You need to support compliance objectives for data from one geographic location. This data is archived after 30 days and needs to be accessed annually. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Select Multi-Regional Storage. Add a bucket lifecycle rule that archives data after 30 days to Coldline Storage.
• B. Select Multi-Regional Storage. Add a bucket lifecycle rule that archives data after 30 days to Nearline Storage.
• C. Select Regional Storage. Add a bucket lifecycle rule that archives data after 30 days to Nearline Storage.
• D. Select Regional Storage. Add a bucket lifecycle rule that archives data after 30 days to Coldline Storage.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Coldline Storage is specifically designed for data that is accessed infrequently, making it suitable for data that is archived after 30 days and accessed annually. Options A and B use Multi-Regional Storage, which is not necessary for compliance in a single geographic location, and option C incorrectly suggests Nearline Storage, which is intended for data accessed more frequently than once a year.
