Ensuring data protection

You work for an organization in a regulated industry with strict data-protection requirements. The organization backs up its data in the cloud. To meet data-privacy regulations, this data can be stored only for a specified period and must be deleted after that period.

You want to automate compliance with this regulation while minimizing storage costs. What should you do?

  • A Store the data in a persistent disk, and delete the disk at expiration time.
  • B Store the data in a Cloud Bigtable table, and set an expiration time on the column families.
  • C Store the data in a BigQuery table, and set the table's expiration time.
  • D Store the data in a Cloud Storage bucket, and configure the bucket's Object Lifecycle Management feature.
Explanation

Cloud Storage Object Lifecycle Management can apply age-based lifecycle rules to backup objects, automatically transitioning them to lower-cost storage classes when appropriate and deleting them after the required retention period. This provides automated retention enforcement and cost management for object-based backup data.
