Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 378

What's a potential problem when object storage versus volume storage is used within IaaS for application use and dependency?

Answer options

• A. Object storage is only optimized for small files.
• B. Object storage is its own system, and data consistency depends on replication.
• C. Object storage may have availability issues.
• D. Object storage is dependent on access control from the host server.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because object storage operates independently, and its data consistency relies on replication mechanisms. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the fundamental issues associated with object storage in terms of data consistency and system operations.
