An organization is ending service on a set of cloud systems that housed data in two categories: short-term storage for transient files and long-term storage for mandated records. Which approach is best for removing the transient files while preserving crucial records that must remain accessible?
Copy vital records to an encryption-enabled repository, remove transient files securely, and verify records remain accessible.
Perform a partial wipe of the transient storage and retain the original data layout, keeping the long-term volumes on the old platform.
Retain snapshots of older volumes, update the OS on the deprecated hosts, and shift data to a test environment.
Erase all data from the volumes in the virtualization console, then copy it to new storage for auditing.
The best response archives important records with encryption while wiping transient volumes. This method aligns with secure removal practices for ephemeral data and compliance requirements for mandatory archives. Wiping these transient files prevents unauthorized access after retirement. Alternative approaches either do not explicitly wipe the transient volumes or affect compliance data by reformatting or moving everything without distinction.
