A cloud administrator is given a requirement to maintain a copy of all system logs for seven years. All servers are deployed in a public cloud provider's environment. Which of the following is the MOST cost-efficient solution for retaining these logs?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Schedule a nightly job on each server to archive all logs. Copy them to a compressed drive on the server. Scheduling a nightly job that archives and compresses logs significantly reduces the total storage footprint accumulated over a seven-year retention period, directly lowering storage costs. Storing compressed archives on the server's own attached storage avoids additional charges from dedicated cloud-managed log storage services, making it the least expensive option among those listed.

Answer

A. Create a long-term storage repository at the cloud provider. Have all logs copied to the cloud storage Copying all logs to a cloud provider's storage without compression or lifecycle tiering uses standard-tier pricing, which becomes costly and inefficient over a seven-year period.

Answer

C. Configure SMTP services on each server and schedule a nightly job to email the logs to the cloud Transmitting logs via SMTP email is not a supported or scalable archival mechanism and is unreliable for meeting a seven-year compliance retention requirement.

Answer

D. Configure a nightly job on each server to copy all logs to a single server. Schedule a job on the server to Centralizing all server logs to a single server creates a single point of failure and does not provide a durable or cost-efficient long-term retention solution for seven years.
