How to approach this question
Think about the middle ground between IaaS and SaaS. Who manages the OS, and who is the target audience?
Full Answer
The cloud provider manages the operating system AND It allows developers to focus on building applications
In Platform as a Service (PaaS), the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, including the hardware and operating systems. This allows developers to focus entirely on writing code and building applications without worrying about server maintenance.
Common mistakes
Selecting 'customer is responsible for patching the OS' - this is the defining feature of IaaS, not PaaS.
