Sample CCSP Practice Question

This original C3RT practice item is from the CCSP question bank. It is not an official or released exam question.

A company is evaluating cloud service models to determine which best suits its needs for hosting a web application. The application requires high availability, scalability, and minimal management overhead. Which cloud service model should the company choose?

  1. IaaS
  2. PaaSCorrect
  3. SaaS
  4. FaaS

Rationale

PaaS (Platform as a Service) is the correct choice because it allows developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. IaaS requires more management of the virtual machines and storage. SaaS provides complete applications but lacks customization for web app development, and FaaS is suitable for event-driven architecture rather than full applications.
