Which option is defined by the creation and change of public cloud services managed in a repeatable and predictable fashion?

Question

Options

• Aplatform as a service
• Binfrastructure as a service
• Csoftware as code
• Dinfrastructure as code

• A
  7% (1)
• B
  86% (12)
• D
  7% (1)

Explanation

Important note: The marked correct answer (B) appears to be wrong. The question describes Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - option D - not Infrastructure as a Service.

Why D is actually correct: Infrastructure as Code defines and provisions cloud infrastructure through machine-readable configuration files, enabling resources to be created and modified in a repeatable, predictable, and version-controlled way. "Repeatable and predictable" is the defining characteristic of IaC.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Platform as a Service): A delivery model providing a managed platform for building/deploying apps - unrelated to how infrastructure is defined or versioned.
• B (Infrastructure as a Service): Provides raw compute, storage, and networking on demand. It's what you provision, not how you manage provisioning in a repeatable way.
• C (Software as Code): Not a recognized cloud computing term - likely a distractor designed to sound plausible.

Memory tip: Think of "as Code" in the name as the giveaway - if the question mentions automating, repeating, or scripting the management of infrastructure, the answer ends in "as Code." IaC tools like Terraform and AWS CloudFormation are the canonical examples.

You may want to verify this question's answer key - it looks like a typo or keying error where B and D were swapped.
