Manage implementation and optimize costs — GCP PCA Practice Question 49

How to approach this question

Match the access patterns (frequent, infrequent, rare) to the appropriate storage classes and automate the transition.

Full Answer

Store the initial data in the Standard storage class., Create a Lifecycle Rule to transition objects to Nearline after 30 days, and to Archive after 365 days.

To optimize storage costs, align the storage class with the access pattern. Standard is for hot data (0-30 days). Nearline is for data accessed less than once a month (31-365 days). Archive is for data accessed less than once a year. Object Lifecycle Management automates the transition between these classes based on object age.

Common mistakes
