CCSP Question #27: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which of the following storage types are used with an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution?

Options

• AVolume and block
• BStructured and object
• CUnstructured and ephemeral
• DVolume and object

Explanation

IaaS solutions commonly utilize both volume storage for operating systems and applications, and object storage for unstructured data.

Common mistakes.

• A. While volume (block) storage is correct, structured storage refers to data types and organization (e.g., databases), not a storage type provided by IaaS in this context as a primary option alongside volume.
• B. Structured refers to data organization, not a storage type like volume or object. Object storage is correct, but structured is not.
• C. Unstructured describes data, not a storage type. Ephemeral storage is a characteristic (temporary), but not a broad category like "volume" or "object." While IaaS offers ephemeral storage (e.g., instance store), "volume and object" represents more comprehensive and persistent storage options.
