Question
A company is planning to deploy an application to a secure cloud environment. The solution must meet these requirements: - A third-party must control the underlying cloud infrastructure. - The company must control the deployed applications. - A third-party must control networking components. Which cloud service model must be used?
Options
- ASaaS
- BIaaS
- CPaaS
- Dprivate cloud
Explanation
The cloud service model where a third-party controls the underlying infrastructure and networking, but the company manages its deployed applications, is Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Common mistakes.
- A. SaaS (Software as a Service) would mean the third-party controls everything, including the applications, which contradicts the requirement for the company to control its deployed applications.
- B. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) would require the company to control not only the applications but also the operating systems, middleware, and runtime environments, which goes beyond the specified requirement of only controlling deployed applications.
- D. A private cloud refers to a cloud environment dedicated to a single organization. While it can meet the requirements, 'PaaS' is the specific service model that describes the shared responsibility outlined, regardless of whether it's a private or public cloud deployment.
