A smart-city project needs to deploy an IoT platform that processes traffic data. The city has a strict requirement to keep all data within its own data center for security, but the development team wants to use a cloud platform with built-in IoT services to speed up development. They also have a limited budget and cannot afford to build a full private cloud. Which approach best satisfies these conflicting requirements?

Use a public PaaS and rely on encryption to protect data

Deploy a PaaS on-premises using a cloud-like platform such as Azure Stack or AWS Outposts

Build a custom platform using IaaS in the city's data center

Use a hybrid cloud with public PaaS for processing and private storage

A retail chain wants to deploy a cloud-based video surveillance system for their stores. They need to store video footage, view live feeds, and receive motion alerts. They do not have IT staff to manage servers or software updates. Which cloud service model is most appropriate?

PaaS with a custom video analytics platform

IaaS with a virtual machine running video management software

SaaS with a subscription-based video surveillance service

Hybrid cloud with on-premises storage and cloud processing

A startup is developing an IoT platform for smart buildings. They want to offer a service to building managers that includes device management, data analytics, and a dashboard. They plan to build the platform themselves but want to use cloud services to reduce development time. They need to choose a service model that provides the most flexibility while minimizing the need to manage infrastructure. Which service model should they choose?

PaaS with managed services for data storage, analytics, and APIs

SaaS with a pre-built smart building management application

IaaS with virtual machines and a self-managed platform

Community cloud with shared IoT services

A logistics company is deploying a fleet-tracking IoT solution. They want to use a cloud platform that provides device connectivity and data processing, but they also need a ready-made mobile app for drivers. The company has a small development team and wants to minimize the amount of custom code they need to write. Which combination of service models best meets these needs?

Use PaaS for both the IoT backend and the mobile app

Use SaaS for both the IoT backend and the mobile app

Use a PaaS IoT platform for device connectivity and processing, and a SaaS mobile app for drivers

Use IaaS for the IoT backend and build a custom mobile app
