Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 49

You are backing up your on-premises data to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage Service.
Your requirements are:
1. Backups need to be retained for at least full 31 days.
2. Data should be accessible immediately if and when needed after the backup.
Which OCI Object Storage tier is suitable for storing the backup to minimize cost?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Infrequent Access tier is ideal for backups as it balances cost with accessibility, allowing you to retain data for over 31 days while ensuring it can be accessed quickly. The Archive tier is not suitable because it is designed for long-term storage and has retrieval delays. The Standard tier is more expensive and not optimized for the needs described, while the Auto-Tiering tier does not directly address the specific requirements for cost-effectiveness in this scenario.
