Difficulty: EasyPlanning Cloud Storage Buckets and Storage Classes

An enterprise application produces daily operation logs that require frequent, immediate access for troubleshooting during the first 14 days. After 14 days, the logs are accessed infrequently for routine audits for another 90 days before being deleted. Which Cloud Storage configuration actions should be planned to optimize costs and performance? (Select TWO)

  1. Set the default storage class of the bucket to Standard Storage to accommodate initial frequent access without incurring retrieval fees.Answer
  2. Configure an Object Lifecycle Management rule to transition objects to Nearline Storage after 14 days.Answer
  3. C
    Set the default storage class of the bucket directly to Archive Storage to minimize overall storage costs from day one.
  4. D
    Enable Uniform Bucket-Level Access to automatically move objects to lower-cost storage tiers based on access frequency.

Answer

The correct configurations are setting the initial bucket class to Standard Storage and creating an Object Lifecycle Management rule to transition objects to Nearline Storage after 14 days.
Standard Storage handles active troubleshooting during the first 14 days without retrieval charges. Transitioning to Nearline Storage after 14 days via Object Lifecycle Management lowers storage costs for infrequently audited data while adhering to storage lifecycle best practices.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze access frequency for the initial 14-day window.
Since logs are accessed frequently for active troubleshooting, Standard Storage is selected to avoid data retrieval charges.
Standard Storage provides high availability and no retrieval fees for active data.
2
Analyze access frequency and retention requirements after 14 days.
Logs are accessed infrequently during the subsequent 90 days, making Nearline Storage (designed for access once a month or less with a 30-day minimum duration) the optimal choice.
Nearline Storage reduces monthly storage costs while keeping retrieval fees minimal for occasional audit queries.
3
Automate storage class transition.
An Object Lifecycle Management action condition (Age = 14 days) automates the transition from Standard to Nearline Storage.
Lifecycle rules eliminate manual management overhead for object state transitions.

Key Concept

Selecting Cloud Storage classes based on access frequency and setting Object Lifecycle Management rules for automated tier transitions.
