A customer wants to use a cloud service where the provider is responsible for the entire application stack, including the application itself, and the customer only needs to configure user access and use the software. Which service model should the customer choose?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

A company must choose between IaaS and PaaS for a new application. They have a small DevOps team, need to deploy custom code quickly, and want to minimize patching responsibilities. However, they also need the ability to install specific OS-level libraries that are not provided by the PaaS platform. What is the most appropriate choice?

PaaS, because it minimizes patching, but they should verify if the platform supports custom libraries

Hybrid cloud, because it combines both IaaS and PaaS

SaaS, because it requires no patching at all

IaaS, because it allows full control over the OS and libraries

A healthcare organization must keep patient records in a dedicated environment that is exclusively used by their organization, but they also want to take advantage of cloud scalability during peak reporting periods.

No need for any security controls

Exclusive use by a single organization

Automatic scaling without any capacity planning

Public internet access for all users

In the shared responsibility model, which of the following is ALWAYS the responsibility of the cloud customer, regardless of the service model?

Management of the virtualization layer
