Sure, I'd be happy to explain the correct statements about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure storage services.

A. You can take incremental snapshots of Block Volumes, File Storage file systems and Object Storage buckets. This statement is true. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides the ability to take incremental snapshots of Block Volumes, File Storage file systems and Object Storage buckets. Incremental snapshots help to reduce backup times and storage costs by only capturing changes made since the last snapshot. This feature is useful for creating backups and for disaster recovery purposes.

B. You can move Object Storage buckets, Block Volumes and File Storage mount targets between compartments. This statement is also true. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure allows you to move Object Storage buckets, Block Volumes and File Storage mount targets between compartments. Compartments are logical containers that allow you to organize and control access to your resources. Moving resources between compartments can help you to manage and optimize your resources as needed.

C. File Storage uses the network file system (NFS) protocol, whereas Block Volume uses iSCSI. This statement is false. File Storage uses the network file system (NFS) protocol, but Block Volumes do not use iSCSI. Instead, Block Volumes use the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) protocol for low-latency and high-performance access to data. NVMe is a protocol that is optimized for solid-state drives (SSDs).

D. Block Volume service scales to Exabytes per instance, while File Storage service offers unlimited scalability. This statement is also false. While the Block Volume service can scale to Exabytes per instance, the File Storage service also offers unlimited scalability. The File Storage service can scale both capacity and performance as needed, allowing you to store and access petabytes of data.

E. File storage mount target does not provide a private IP address, while the Object Storage bucket provides one. This statement is false. Both File Storage mount targets and Object Storage buckets provide a private IP address. A private IP address is used for internal communication within a virtual cloud network (VCN) and is not publicly accessible from the internet.

In summary, the two true statements about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure storage services are:

  • You can take incremental snapshots of Block Volumes, File Storage file systems and Object Storage buckets.
  • You can move Object Storage buckets, Block Volumes and File Storage mount targets between compartments.
