Question 36
You plan to migrate a web application to Azure. The web application will be accessed by external users.
You need to recommend a solution to deploy in the cloud to minimize the management burden of the web application.
Which of the following is the appropriate solution to use for this purpose?
- A Software as a Service (SaaS)
- B Platform as a Service (PaaS)

- D Desktop as a service (DaaS)
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
PaaS is the right choice for web application migration. PaaS provides a set of platforms on which to run applications. A typical PaaS service is the Azure App Service.
Azure App Service provides an environment for running HTTP-based applications.You can easily create an environment by selecting the runtime stack (programming language) in which the OS and programs will run.
Not only the OS, but also the execution environment such as .NET, Java, PHP and Python are provided by the cloud provider, so the user can run the application by submitting the application code.
You can't log in directly to configure the OS, but it comes standard with PaaS features such as source code management and continuous deployment, load balancing, and autoscaling.
