    AZ-900 · Question 12 · Domain 1.3: Describe Cloud Service Types

    Select TWO characteristics of Platform as a Service (PaaS).

    Answer options:

    A.

    The customer is responsible for patching the operating system.

    B.

    The cloud provider manages the operating system.

    C.

    It provides a complete, finished software product for end-users.

    D.

    It allows developers to focus on building applications.

    E.

    It requires the highest amount of upfront capital expenditure.

    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

    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.
