Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 32

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 data that isn't accessed often but needs to be available when required, making it suitable for backups that are retained for at least 31 days and need immediate access. The Archive tier is not appropriate because it is designed for long-term storage with infrequent access, which may not meet the immediate access requirement. The Auto-Tiering and Standard tiers are generally more expensive for this use case.
