OCI Object Storage

E.

The best option for hosting several files in a location that can be publicly accessible from anywhere in the world is OCI Object Storage (option E).

OCI Object Storage is a scalable and highly available storage solution that enables users to store and retrieve unstructured data of any type and size, such as images, videos, documents, and logs. It provides multiple options for accessing and managing data, including a web console, a REST API, and CLI.

Object Storage also offers built-in features for data protection and security, such as data encryption at rest and in transit, access control policies, and network isolation. It can also integrate with other OCI services, such as Compute, Functions, and Streaming, to build end-to-end applications.

On the other hand, OCT File Storage (option A) is a network file system designed for enterprise applications that require high performance and low latency access to shared files. It is not suitable for public access and lacks the scalability and durability of Object Storage.

Oracle Functions (option B) is a serverless compute platform that allows developers to run small pieces of code in response to events. While it can integrate with Object Storage for data processing, it is not designed for hosting files.

OCI Storage Gateway (option C) is a hybrid cloud storage solution that enables users to extend their on-premises storage to OCI. It is not suitable for public access and requires a dedicated connection.

OCI Block Volume (option D) is a block storage solution that provides persistent storage for virtual machines and bare metal instances. It is not designed for hosting files and requires the creation of a file system to store data.

Therefore, the best option for hosting files that can be publicly accessible from anywhere in the world is OCI Object Storage.
