I got this question in exam.

Origin of the question is Cloud Types in division Cloud Computing Basics of Cloud Computing

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) IaaS

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides virtual machines, virtual storage, virtual infrastructure, and other hardware assets. It is a cloud computing model where users can rent IT infrastructure such as virtual machines, storage, and networking on-demand, without having to manage the physical hardware.

• SaaS (Software as a Service) provides software applications over the internet, rather than infrastructure.
• PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying hardware or software layers.

Hence, IaaS is the right choice.
