Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations 2020 Associate — Question 11

A customer is looking to migrate their old database backups from their on-premises data center to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Which OCI service is the most cost-effective?

Answer options

• A. Archive Storage
• B. Block Volume
• C. Object storage (standard)
• D. File Storage

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Archive Storage is designed specifically for long-term storage of infrequently accessed data, making it the most cost-effective option for migrating old database backups. In contrast, Block Volume, Object Storage (standard), and File Storage are more suitable for frequently accessed data and come with higher costs associated with storage and access.
