Which benefit does data compression provide when transferring large files to a cloud storage service?

It increases the number of data replicas stored by the provider.

It guarantees that the data will be stored in the hot tier.

It eliminates the need for encryption during transfer.

It reduces the amount of bandwidth required for the transfer.

A company is building a new application that will store and serve millions of small JSON documents. The documents are accessed via a REST API and are rarely updated. The company expects the number of documents to grow rapidly. The application must be able to scale without downtime. Which storage technology is most appropriate?

File storage with a shared folder

Block storage with a large volume

What is a key characteristic of object storage?

Data is stored as objects with metadata and a unique identifier

Data is stored in a hierarchical file system

Data is stored on a single physical server for low latency

Data is divided into fixed-size blocks that can be modified independently

A software development team needs a shared storage solution for their CI/CD pipeline. The pipeline runs on multiple VMs that need to access the same build artifacts and configuration files.
