Which cloud service model provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

A manufacturing company generates large sensor data files on-premise and needs to archive them for 7 years for compliance. The data is accessed rarely, but retrieval must be possible within 24 hours. The company wants to minimize storage cost. Which storage solution is most appropriate?

Keep the files on the on-premise high-performance SAN used for active production data.

Store the files on external hard drives and keep them in a locked cabinet.

Use a cloud block storage volume attached to a running VM.

Store the files in a cloud object storage service with an archive access tier.

A company must store sensitive customer data. A regulation requires that the data be stored within the country's borders. The company also has a policy that no third party should have access to the physical servers. Which infrastructure option satisfies both the regulatory and policy requirements?

Use a private cloud hosted by a local provider within the country.

Use a public cloud region located within the country.

Use an on-premise data center located within the country.

Use a hybrid cloud with data in a local cloud region and backups on-premise.

A hospital must store patient records locally to comply with a state regulation that prohibits transmitting protected health information outside the facility's physical premises. The data team needs to deploy a database server. Which infrastructure choice satisfies the regulatory constraint?

Use a private cloud hosted by a third-party provider in a dedicated facility nearby.

Use a public cloud database in a region within the same country.

Use a hybrid cloud with the database in the cloud and a backup copy on-premise.

Deploy a database server in the hospital's own data center with direct network access.

A company currently runs its data warehouse on-premise. The IT team wants to reduce the time spent on hardware maintenance and patching so they can focus on data analysis. Which approach best addresses this goal?

Continue using the on-premise warehouse but outsource hardware maintenance to a vendor.

Keep the on-premise warehouse and hire more IT staff for maintenance.

Move the warehouse to a cloud VM and manage the database software themselves.

Migrate the warehouse to a cloud-based managed data warehouse service.
