Exam Associate Cloud Engineer topic 1 question 154 discussion

Correct Answer is (B): The key to understand the requirement is : "The objects are written once and accessed frequently for 30 days" Standard Storage Standard Storage is best for data that is frequently accessed ("hot" data) and/or stored for only brief periods of time. Archive Storage Archive Storage is the lowest-cost, highly durable storage service for data archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery. Unlike the "coldest" storage services offered by other Cloud providers, your data is available within milliseconds, not hours or days. Archive Storage is the best choice for data that you plan to access less than once a year. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#standard

I think the correct one is B. Because Nearline has a 30-day minimum storage duration. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes

The objects are written once and accessed frequently for 30 days. Then rarely accessed.

B is the correct answer

Key terms frequently accessed for 30 days -> Standard storage class. Not accessed unless special need for 3 years -> Archive storage class.

B is the correct answer, as the data for first 30 days in accessed frequently so for it we can use the standard , and after it to minimize the cost we can use the archive storage for 3 years

Answer is B, we cannot select A because data is accedesed frequently and nearline only allows access once per month (you can access more incurring in aditional cost but being not a cost optimized selection)

Answer is A: there is a retrieval fee for data access from nearline. Please check https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes. So Standard storage is the cheaper option

B is the correct Answer, Frequently accessed data 'Hot Data' should be stored in Standard Storage for 30 days, Then this can be moved to Archive after 30 days for period of three years which is accessed only when a special need arises, to reduce cost.

https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#nearline 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.

B is right

B for sure

The answer is: B Standard storage description: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#:~:text=Standard%20Storage%20is%20best%20for%20data%20that%20is%20frequently%20accessed%20(%22hot%22%20data)%20and/or%20stored%20for%20only%20brief%20periods%20of%20time. Nearline storage imp description: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes#:~:text=storage%20service%20for-,storing%20infrequently%20accessed%20data.,-Nearline%20Storage%20is Pricing for frequent access: https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing#:~:text=Free%20operations-,Standard%20Storage,Free,-Coldline%20Storage

Standard – Frequently access and short period Nearline - Low cost, highly durable for infrequent data access, lower availability Coldline –Very low cost, highly durable for infrequently accessed, 90 days minimum storage Archive - Lowest cost, highly durable for archiving, backup and DR, lower availability I will also go for B

B. Set up a policy that uses Standard storage for 30 days and then moves to Archive storage for three years. _ clearly mentioned data access frequently for 30days and then object not read again until special need ( archive suitable).

If you access frequently in Nearline, it will cost you more. There is no retrieval cost for Standard. So for frequently accessed object, go with standard. Also in Standard, there is no minimum period to store the object, so don't get confused by 30 days. Ans is B.

Vote For B
