Example question from this objective
Each option is explained, so the reasoning behind the distractors is part of the answer.
A company uses an online customer relationship management application. The provider manages the application, platform, and infrastructure, while the company configures users and business data. Which service type is this?
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- A private subnet only
- Customer-owned physical servers
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS) — SaaS provides a complete application managed by the provider, while the customer mainly manages configuration, access, and data use.
A private subnet only — A subnet is a networking construct, not a software delivery model.
Customer-owned physical servers — Owning physical servers is not a cloud service model.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) — IaaS provides infrastructure building blocks, leaving more operating system and application responsibility to the customer.
