A multinational corporation wants to deploy a SaaS-based IoT device-management platform. They have offices in multiple countries with different data-protection regulations. The vendor offers data residency in several regions, but the company wants to minimize management overhead while ensuring compliance. Which approach should they take?

Build a custom PaaS platform in each region

Use a single global region for all data to simplify management

Use a private cloud in each country

Select a SaaS vendor that offers data residency in each required region and configure the platform to store data in the appropriate region per office

A city government is implementing a smart parking system. They want to use a cloud service that provides the entire parking management application, including sensor integration, payment processing, and a dashboard for citizens. They do not want to develop or maintain the software. Which cloud service model should they choose?

IaaS with a virtual machine running a custom parking application

SaaS with a subscription-based smart parking service

PaaS with a custom parking management platform

Hybrid cloud with on-premises parking management

A manufacturing company is deploying a private cloud for its IoT edge gateways. The security team requires full control over the operating system, including kernel patches and firewall rules, while the operations team wants to avoid managing physical servers. Which cloud service model should the company use?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

A manufacturing company is designing an IoT architecture for predictive maintenance. They need to process sensor data in near-real-time to detect anomalies, but they also need to archive raw data for long-term analysis. The company has a limited IT team and wants to minimize infrastructure management. Which cloud approach best meets these needs?

Use IaaS VMs for both processing and storage

Store all data on-premises and process in the cloud

Use a PaaS IoT platform for real-time processing and a managed storage service for archiving

Use a SaaS analytics application for everything
