What is the cloud service model in which the customer is responsible for administration of the OS?
The correct answer is D. IaaS. In IaaS, the cloud provider only owns the hardware and supplies the utilities. The customer is responsible for the OS, programs, and data. In PaaS and SaaS, the provider also owns the OS. There is no QaaS. That is a red herring.
