QuestionQ14

VerifiedCompute and Storage

You create a file system and add a 1 GB file. You then create a snapshot of that file system. After the hourly update cycle completes, the total meteredBytes reported by the File Storage service remains 1 GB. You then overwrite the first 0.5 GB of the file.

What is the total meteredBytes reported by the File Storage service after the hourly update cycle completes?

Explanation

File Storage snapshots use the original data until blocks change. Overwriting 0.5 GB creates 0.5 GB of differentiated data while the snapshot retains references to the original 1 GB, resulting in 1.5 GB of metered usage.
