Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 19

You have multiple applications installed on a compute instance and these applications generate a large amount of log files. These log files must reside on the boot volume for a minimum of 15 days.
Any log files age over 15 days shouldn't be on boot volume but still must be retained for at least 60 days. The 60-day retention requirement is causing an issue with available disk space.
What are two Oracle recommended methods to retain the log files for 60 days without filling up the boot volume? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Terminate the instance while preserving the boot volume. Create a new instance from the boot volume and select a DenseIO shape to take advantage of local NVMe storage.
• B. Resize the boot volume of the instance.
• C. Create and attach a block volume to the compute instance and copy the log files.
• D. Create an object storage bucket and use a script that runs daily to move log files older than 15 days to the bucket.
• E. Write a custom script to remove the log files on a daily basis and free up the space on the boot volume.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D. Option C allows for the log files to be stored on a separate block volume, preventing the boot volume from filling up. Option D utilizes object storage to move older log files, effectively managing space while still meeting the retention requirement. Options A and B do not address the space issue, while E does not meet the 60-day retention requirement.
