Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2021 Architect Associate — Question 30

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because, by default, object versioning is off, meaning that users must explicitly enable it to keep multiple versions of objects. Option A is incorrect as objects are not physically deleted when versioning is enabled; instead, previous versions are retained. Option B is wrong because versioning does indeed provide a layer of protection against accidental modifications or deletions, and option D is false since versioning-enabled buckets can store multiple versions of an object, not just the latest one.
