Which two components are the responsibility of the customers in a platform as a Service offering? (Choose two)
Options
- AApplications
- BInfrastructure connectivity
- CHardware
- DData
- EAPIs
Explanation
In a Platform as a Service (PaaS) model, the provider handles infrastructure, hardware, networking, the OS, runtime, and the platform APIs - leaving customers responsible for Applications (A) and Data (D). The customer writes and deploys the code that runs on the platform, and they own and manage the data that their applications create or consume.
Why the others are wrong:
- B (Infrastructure connectivity): The cloud provider manages underlying network infrastructure in PaaS.
- C (Hardware): Physical servers and hardware are entirely the provider's concern - that's a core reason to use PaaS.
- E (APIs): The platform exposes APIs to customers as part of the service; the provider builds and maintains them.
Memory tip: Use the acronym "AD" - in PaaS, customers own their Apps and their Data. Everything below that stack belongs to the provider. Think of PaaS as renting a kitchen: the building, appliances, and utilities are the landlord's problem - you just bring your recipes (apps) and ingredients (data).
