A company uses Cloud Storage to store critical documents. They need to protect against accidental deletion or overwrite of objects, and also retain deleted objects for at least 30 days. Which THREE features should they enable?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Object versioning
Object versioning keeps multiple versions of objects, preventing overwrite loss. Object retention policies (retention policy) prevent deletion before a specified duration. Object holds can be applied to individual objects to prevent deletion. Bucket lock is used to make a retention policy permanent, but it's not a separate feature for retention. Lifecycle management is for automating transitions or deletions, not for preventing deletion.
