A nonprofit organization has 50 volunteers who need access to a shared calendar, document editing, and video conferencing. The organization has no IT department and wants to minimize setup effort. Which solution is the best fit?

Set up an on-premises email server and install video conferencing software on a local PC.

Use IaaS to create virtual machines and install the collaboration tools manually.

Develop a custom collaboration platform using PaaS.

Adopt a SaaS collaboration suite that includes calendar, documents, and video conferencing.

A company is migrating a legacy application to the cloud. The application requires a specific operating system version and a custom kernel module that the cloud provider's PaaS does not support. The company wants to minimize management overhead but cannot change the application. Which approach is the most appropriate?

Use SaaS and hope the provider supports the custom kernel module.

Use PaaS and modify the application to work without the custom kernel module.

Keep the application on-premises because cloud cannot support custom kernels.

Use IaaS to provision a VM with the required OS and install the custom kernel module.

A mid-sized company is evaluating whether to move its customer relationship management (CRM) system to the cloud or keep it on-premises. The company has a stable, predictable workload and a dedicated IT team that can manage servers. The main concern is data privacy. Which factor is most important in this decision?

The number of employees in the IT team

The level of control and customization required over the infrastructure

The brand of the existing servers

A consulting firm has employees who travel frequently and need access to the same client documents and email from any location. The firm wants to avoid maintaining servers and wants the software to be always up to date. Which option is the best fit?

Use IaaS to deploy virtual desktops for each employee.

Host an on-premises email server and file server.

Use a SaaS productivity suite that provides email and document storage.

Build a custom collaboration tool using PaaS.

A development team wants to deploy a web application without worrying about the underlying operating system, web server, or scaling. They also want to use a built-in database service that the platform provides. Which cloud service model is most appropriate?

IaaS, because it provides virtual machines with full control

PaaS, because it provides a managed platform with integrated services like databases

Private cloud, because it provides dedicated hardware

SaaS, because it provides ready-made applications
