A research lab is deploying a cluster of IoT devices for a high-performance computing experiment. They need to install custom drivers and a specialized operating system on the virtual machines. They also want to have full control over the network configuration. Which cloud service model is most appropriate?

SaaS with a pre-built IoT simulation service

IaaS with virtual machines and custom networking

Community cloud shared with other research labs

PaaS with a managed container platform

A retail company is evaluating cloud services for its IoT inventory system. They need to deploy a custom application that uses a specific machine-learning library, but they also want to use a ready-made dashboard for store managers. The company has a small IT team and wants to minimize infrastructure management. Which combination of service models should they use?

IaaS for both the ML application and the dashboard

IaaS for the custom ML application and SaaS for the dashboard

PaaS for the custom ML application and IaaS for the dashboard

SaaS for both the ML application and the dashboard

A utility company is deploying smart meters across a region. They need to process meter data in near-real-time and have a requirement to keep customer usage data within the country. They also want to use a cloud platform that provides built-in IoT services to reduce development time. The company has a moderate budget and cannot build a dedicated data center. Which approach best meets these requirements?

Use a private cloud PaaS hosted on-premises

Use a hybrid cloud with public PaaS and private storage

Use a public cloud PaaS with data residency in the required country

Use a community cloud shared with other utilities
