Answer options:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Software as a Service (SaaS)

Function as a Service (FaaS)

Full Answer

A.Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)✓ Correct

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides the highest level of control over the IT resources. Because the company needs a specific OS version and custom registry modifications, they need full administrative access to the operating system, which is only available in IaaS (e.g., Azure Virtual Machines).

Common mistakes

Assuming PaaS can run any web application. Legacy apps with strict OS dependencies usually require IaaS.
