Question 42
Your company plans to build a billing application on Azure. To do so, it is necessary to install some applications and software on the server in advance.
Which cloud model does this best match?
- A Software as a Service (SaaS)
- B Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- C Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- D Desktop as a Service(DaaS)
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Option 3 is the correct answer. You need server configuration privileges because you need to install applications and software on the server in advance. If you are using an Azure virtual machine, you can set up the software yourself. Therefore, you will need to use virtual machines, which are an example of Infrastructure as a Service (laaS).
Option 1 is incorrect. This is because SaaS does not allow you to build your own applications.
Option 2 is incorrect. PaaS is pre-installed with software, such as middleware, necessary for development. Therefore, no prerequisite applications are to be installed.
Option 4 is incorrect. DaaS stands for "Desktop as a Service" and is a service that provides desktops via the Internet.
