Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 3

As a solution architect, you are showcasing the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage feature about Object Versioning to a customer.
Which statement is true in regards to OCI Object Storage Versioning?

Answer options

• A. Object versioning does not provide data protection against accidental or malicious object update, overwrite, or deletion.
• B. By default, object versioning is disabled on a bucket.
• C. A bucket that is versioning-enabled can have only and always will have a latest version of the object in the bucket.
• D. Objects are physically deleted from a bucket when versioning is enabled.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because OCI Object Storage versioning is indeed disabled by default on a bucket, requiring manual activation. Option A is incorrect as versioning does provide a layer of protection against such issues. Option C is false because versioning allows for multiple versions of an object. Option D is inaccurate since versioned objects are not deleted; they are retained as different versions.
