Each of the three cloud service models - infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) - offers benefits between flexibility and levels of management by the cloud provider and the customer.
Why would SaaS be the right choice of service model?
A) You want a balance between flexibility for the customer and the level of management by the cloud provider.
B) You want to minimize the level of management by the customer.
C) You want to maximize flexibility for the customer.
D) You want to be able to shift your emphasis between flexibility and management by the cloud provider as business needs change.
Solution
Correct answer: B) You want to minimize the level of management by the customer.
Software as a Service (SaaS) is the right choice when you want to minimize the level of management by the customer. In a SaaS model, the cloud provider hosts and manages the software application and infrastructure, and customers simply access and use the application through a web browser. This allows customers to focus on using the software without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure, maintenance, or management tasks. SaaS is known for providing a high level of abstraction, reducing the need for customers to handle tasks such as patching, updates, and system administration.
