[All C1000-172 Questions]

An architect is tasked with setting up IBM Cloud Object Storage for data with unpredictable usage patterns. Which storage class should the architect select for this use case?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

For data with unpredictable usage patterns, the architect should select the Smart Tier storage class.

Smart Tier Storage Class: This is designed for workloads with changing or unpredictable access patterns. It automatically moves data between different cost-performance tiers based on access patterns, providing cost-efficiency and optimal performance without requiring manual intervention.

Unpredictable Usage Patterns: Smart Tier is particularly beneficial when the usage patterns of data are not consistent, as it dynamically adjusts the storage tier to ensure the most efficient use of resources.

Reference from IBM Cloud Professional Architect Materials:

IBM's documentation on IBM Cloud Object Storage Classes describes Smart Tier as the recommended choice for data with unpredictable access patterns.

Other options are incorrect:

A . Standard is for frequently accessed data.

C . Vault and D. Cold Vault are for infrequently accessed data, not suitable for unpredictable usage.

I see your point, Mary. Smart Tier does seem like a good choice for this scenario.

But Smart Tier automatically moves data between Standard and Vault classes based on usage, which can be more cost-effective.

Haha, these storage class names are getting more and more creative. 'Smart Tier' and 'Cold Vault' - it's like they're trying to make us feel like secret agents or something.

Hold on, what if the architect needs to access the data quickly sometimes? In that case, the Standard storage class might be the way to go.

The Cold Vault might be a good choice if the data is not accessed frequently. It's the most cost-effective option for long-term storage.

I think the Smart Tier option would be perfect for this scenario. It automatically adjusts the storage class based on usage patterns, which sounds ideal for unpredictable data.
