Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Professional — Question 7

A customer wants to use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for storing application backups which can be stored for months, but retrieved immediately based on business needs.
Which OCI storage service can be used to meet this requirement?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Object Storage (standard), as it is designed for data that needs to be accessed frequently and instantly, making it suitable for application backups. Option A, Archive Storage, is used for infrequently accessed data, which does not meet the requirement for immediate retrieval. Options C and D, File Storage and Block Volume, are suited for different use cases and do not provide the needed access speed for backup retrieval.
