Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 57

You work for a health insurance company that stores a large number of patient health records in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage bucket named "HealthRecords".
Each record needs to be securely stored for a period of 5 years for regulatory compliance purposes and cannot be modified, overwritten or deleted during this time period.
What can you do to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Create an OCI Object Storage Lifecycle Policies rule to archive objects in the HealthRecords bucket for five years.
• B. Create an OCI Object Storage time-bound Retention Rule on the HealthRecords bucket for five years. Enable Retention Rule Lock on this bucket.
• C. Enable encryption on the HealthRecords bucket using your own vault master encryption keys.
• D. Enable versioning on the HealthRecords bucket.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because implementing a time-bound Retention Rule with Retention Rule Lock ensures that the records are securely held for five years without any modifications or deletions, thus meeting regulatory compliance. Option A is incorrect as lifecycle policies do not prevent deletion or modification during the retention period. Option C, while enhancing security, does not address the retention requirement. Option D allows for versioning but does not prevent overwriting or deletion of the files.
