Worked example. The correct answer is already marked and every option is explained below, so there is nothing to select here. To answer questions yourself, start the free trial.
A software development team at a retail company is creating a new customer-facing web application and backend REST APIs.
The team needs an environment to build, test, and deploy their application code quickly. They want the cloud provider to manage the underlying operating systems, hardware provisioning, web server middleware, and runtime updates so they can focus exclusively on application logic.
Which cloud service type should the development team select?
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a complete, managed environment in the cloud for developing, testing, deploying, and maintaining applications. Under this model, the cloud provider delivers and manages the physical hardware, networking, virtualization layer, operating system (OS), middleware, database software, and runtime environments.
Compared to IaaS, which requires ongoing OS maintenance, or SaaS, which provides fixed end-user applications rather than a developer platform, PaaS strikes the exact balance required for custom web and API development.
