Exam Associate Cloud Engineer topic 1 question 92 discussion

D Google Cloud Coldline is a new cold-tier storage for archival data with access frequency of less than once per year. Unlike other cold storage options, Nearline has no delays prior to data access, so now it is the leading solution among competitors.

Correct Answer is (D): https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes Nearline Storage Nearline Storage is a low-cost, highly durable storage service for storing infrequently accessed data. Nearline Storage is a better choice than Standard Storage in scenarios where slightly lower availability, a 30-day minimum storage duration, and costs for data access are acceptable trade-offs for lowered at-rest storage costs. Nearline Storage is ideal for data you plan to read or modify on average once per month or less. For example, if you want to continuously add files to Cloud Storage and plan to access those files once a month for analysis, Nearline Storage is a great choice. Nearline Storage is also appropriate for data backup, long-tail multimedia content, and data archiving. Note, however, that for data accessed less frequently than once a quarter, Coldline Storage or Archive Storage are more cost-effective, as they offer lower storage costs. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#nearline

D is correct. "from one geographic location" clues the answer

The correct answer is D

D is the correrct answer, as the data in access only once a year

"This data is archived after 30 days and needs to be accessed annually" ideally archive; coldine is the closest.

The best option would be to select Regional Storage and add a bucket lifecycle rule that archives data after 30 days to Nearline Storage. Nearline Storage is designed for data that is accessed less frequently, but still needs to be readily available when accessed. It has a lower storage cost than Regional Storage, and retrieval costs are lower than those of Coldline Storage.

D is correct

Answer D is the CORRECT answer. The scenario mentioned in the question requires archiving data after 30 days and accessing it annually. As per the Cloud Storage documentation, Coldline storage is ideal for data that is accessed at most once a quarter. Hence, selecting regional storage and adding a bucket lifecycle rule that archives data after 30 days to Coldline Storage is the best solution to meet the compliance objectives and cost-effectiveness requirements.

The answer is D.

Regional Storage, Coldline Storage.

As in question it is asking for "one geographic location" .So multi region options A & B is eliminated. And Between C & D "D is correct" as data will be accessed once a year.

its C because archive data is 30 days and Nearline storage support that. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes

had this question today

D is for sure.

Go for D “… and needs to be accessed annually” Cold line is the better choice.

D is the right answer.
