Question 1

Which statements accurately describe cost considerations for object and block storage?

Object storage is generally more cost-efficient than block storage, especially at scale

Block storage is consistently cheaper than object storage due to lower hardware costs

Retrieving data from block storage is typically more expensive than from object storage

Object storage can use commodity hardware, which may reduce hardware costs compared to block storage

Question 2

When should you consider using object storage over block storage?

When you need to store unstructured data such as multimedia files and backups

For applications that require the lowest possible latency in data access

When using databases and applications that need high throughput and low latency

If you require a storage solution that can easily scale and handle petabytes-scale data volumes

Question 3

What are the key performance characteristics of object and block storage?

Block storage typically provides lower latency, suitable for databases and virtual machines

Object storage offers the best performance for all types of workfloads due to its scalability

Object storage can deliver higher throughput for large data access requests, thanks to parallel data access

Block storage surpasses object storage in scalability and is better suited for distributed data storage
