What type of data volume would a client used to attach to an IBM cloud virtual server instance (VSI)
for virtual private cloud (VPC)?
B
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Block storage stores data by breaking it into evenly sized blocks, which is written to
Explanation:disk. The data stored is highly available because each block is stored multiple times
across different disks. Block storage is used for computing situations where users require fast,
efficient, and reliable data storage Block storage can be deployed on a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) or
classic environments.
