Question: Which Cloud Storage class is meant for organizations with the lowest frequency access?
- Nearline
- Multi-Regional
- Coldline
- Regional
Explanation
Cloud Storage uses storage classes to match data access patterns with cost and availability requirements. The selected class is designed for data accessed infrequently, with lower at-rest storage cost and a longer minimum storage duration than Nearline storage. It is appropriate when data is read or modified only occasionally, such as quarterly access patterns. This makes it better suited to very low access frequency than general-purpose or location-based storage classes.
Why the other options are incorrect
Nearline is intended for infrequently accessed data that is read or modified about once per month or less.
Multi-Regional is a legacy location-based class for objects stored across multi-regions or dual-regions.
Regional is a legacy location-based class for objects stored in a single region.
