MS-900 question #202 exhibit

Answer Area

  • Azure virtual machine is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution.Yes
  • SharePoint Online is an IaaS solution.No
  • Microsoft Teams is an IaaS solution.No

Explanation

Differentiating between Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud service models.

Approach. 1. For 'Azure virtual machine is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution', select 'Yes'. Azure VMs provide fundamental compute resources (virtualized hardware) where you are responsible for managing the operating system, middleware, and applications, which is the definition of IaaS. 2. For 'SharePoint Online is an IaaS solution', select 'No'. SharePoint Online is a fully developed software application hosted and managed by Microsoft that users consume directly. This makes it a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. 3. For 'Microsoft Teams is an IaaS solution', select 'No'. Similar to SharePoint, Microsoft Teams is an end-user communication and collaboration application hosted by Microsoft, classifying it as SaaS, not IaaS.

Common mistakes.

  • common_mistake. A common mistake is confusing the different cloud service models. Selecting 'Yes' for SharePoint Online or Microsoft Teams implies that the customer manages the underlying servers, operating systems, or networking for these applications, which is incorrect. Microsoft manages all underlying infrastructure for its SaaS offerings like Microsoft 365 services.

Concept tested. Cloud Service Models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and their corresponding Microsoft product examples.
