A worked example

Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

2-2Planning and implementing a cloud solution

A team stores compliance archives they expect to read less than once a year. What minimum storage duration does Archive storage carry?

30 daysThat figure belongs to the warmest of the cold classes.
90 daysThat is the middle commitment, not the longest.
180 daysNo storage class publishes that duration.
365 daysCorrect · your answerCorrect. A full year is the commitment.

Correct.

Concept

A cheap at-rest rate is paid for with a commitment to leave the data alone. Deleting or rewriting early still bills the remainder of that commitment.

Why D

Archive storage carries a 365-day minimum storage duration, the longest of the classes. Nearline sits at 30 days and Coldline at 90.
