An associate cloud engineer is designing a Google Cloud Storage solution for a media processing application. The application requires immediate, frequent access to newly uploaded video files during the first month, and automated cost optimization for files older than 30 days. Which TWO storage planning decisions should the engineer implement? (Select TWO)
- Use Standard Storage as the default storage class for the bucket to accommodate frequent daily access without data retrieval charges.Answer
- Implement an Object Lifecycle Management policy with a rule to transition objects to Nearline Storage after 30 days.Answer
- CUse Archive Storage as the default storage class for newly uploaded videos to minimize initial storage costs.
- DConfigure per-object Access Control Lists (ACLs) on uploaded files while Uniform Bucket-Level Access is enabled on the bucket.
Answer
The correct decisions are to select Standard Storage as the default storage class for active daily media processing and to set an Object Lifecycle Management rule transitioning files to Nearline Storage after 30 days.
Standard Storage is the correct choice for frequently accessed active uploads because it carries no data retrieval fees. Nearline Storage is the correct tier for data accessed once a month or less, matching the 30-day lifecycle transition boundary.
