Sample Questions

Question 1

In which cloud service model does the customer manage the operating system, runtime, and applications while the provider manages the physical hardware and virtualization?

A. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
C. Software as a Service (SaaS)
D. Function as a Service (FaaS)

✓ Correct Answer: A

IaaS gives the customer virtual machines or networks while the provider handles the physical hosts, storage, and hypervisor; the customer still patches the OS and runs the apps. PaaS hides the OS and runtime, SaaS hides everything but configuration, and FaaS hides the runtime and execution environment entirely.

Question 2

A team uses a hosted email and calendar product accessed entirely through a browser, with no servers or code to maintain. Which service model is this?

A. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
C. Software as a Service (SaaS)
D. Container as a Service (CaaS)

✓ Correct Answer: C

SaaS delivers ready-to-use applications over the network where the provider runs everything and the customer only configures and consumes. IaaS would require managing servers, PaaS would require deploying code, and CaaS would require packaging and running containers.
