An IT department is deploying a new line-of-business application in Azure using an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model. The workload requires dedicated compute processing, persistent storage for transactional data, and connectivity to an internal subnet.
Which combination of Azure resources represents the core IaaS components required for this deployment?
An Azure Logic Apps workflow, an Azure SQL Database instance, and an Azure API Management gateway
An Azure App Service plan, an Azure Blob Storage container, and an Azure Front Door profile
An Azure Functions app, an Azure Files storage share, and an Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) profile
A Virtual Machine, a Managed Data Disk, and a Network Interface (NIC) connected to a Virtual Network

An Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) deployment in Azure provides fundamental computing building blocks—specifically compute capacity, persistent block storage, and virtual networking infrastructure—that give administrators full control over the operating system and software stack.
This combination aligns directly with the core pillars of IaaS: compute (Virtual Machine), storage (Managed Disk), and networking (NIC and Virtual Network). It gives the organization the required infrastructure foundation while maintaining standard cloud flexibility.
