Sample Questions

Question 1

What does Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provide to a customer?

A. Virtualized compute, storage, and networking; the customer manages the OS and everything above it

B. A complete software application delivered over the web that the customer accesses via a browser interface

C. A managed runtime, language stack, and platform where the customer deploys application code with limited config

D. A managed messaging bus, identity service, and search index packaged as a single tenant per customer

✓ Correct Answer: A

IaaS provides raw virtualized infrastructure (VMs, block storage, virtual networks). Customer owns the OS, runtime, application, and data. B describes SaaS. C describes PaaS. D describes a specific service bundle, not a model.

Question 2

What does Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) deliver to its customers?

A. Bare-metal servers in a colocation facility leased by the hour over the public internet directly

B. A managed runtime and platform where the customer deploys application code without managing the OS

C. A finished SaaS-style end-user application that the customer accesses through a web browser interface

D. A satellite-uplinked telemetry pipeline for IoT field devices to push readings to a cloud back end

✓ Correct Answer: B

PaaS abstracts the OS, runtime, and patching — the customer just brings application code. The provider runs the underlying platform. A is closer to bare-metal/colocation. C describes SaaS. D is a niche IoT pipeline, not a model.
