Network, Storage, Compute — GCP PCA Practice Question 22

Q: What mistakes do candidates make on this GCP PCA question?

Using Coldline instead of Nearline for data that might be accessed occasionally during the first year, leading to high retrieval fees.

How to approach this question

Map the access frequency to the correct storage class: Frequent = Standard, < once a month = Nearline, < once a quarter = Coldline, < once a year = Archive.

Full Answer

B.Standard for 30 days, transition to Nearline for 335 days, then transition to Archive for the remaining 4 years.✓ Correct

Cloud Storage classes are optimized for access frequency. Standard is for hot data (first 30 days). Nearline is for data accessed less than once a month (days 31-365). Archive is for data accessed less than once a year (years 2-5). Using Object Lifecycle Management to automate these transitions provides the lowest total cost of ownership.
