GCP ACE · Question 15 · Domain 2.3: Planning and configuring data storage options

Full Answer
D.Archive Storage✓ Correct
Archive Storage
Archive Storage is the lowest-cost option for data archiving, online backup, and disaster recovery. It is intended for data accessed less than once a year. Unlike AWS Glacier, GCP Archive storage has no retrieval delay (milliseconds access), though retrieval costs are high.
Common mistakes
Assuming Archive storage takes hours to retrieve data (confusing it with AWS Glacier).
