Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2021 Architect Associate — Question 19

You are backing up your on-premises data to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage Service.
Requirements:
Backups are retained for at-least full 31 days.
You must be able to access the data immediately if and when needed after the backup.
Which OCI object storage tier is suitable to store the backup to minimize the cost?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Standard Tier is the most appropriate choice for data that needs to be accessed immediately and is retained for at least 31 days, making it cost-effective for frequent access. The Archive Tier is designed for long-term storage and infrequent access, which would not meet the immediate access requirement. The Infrequent Access Tier is not suitable as it is intended for data that is accessed less frequently than standard data, and the Auto-Tiering Tier is not specifically designed for minimizing costs while ensuring immediate access.
