A logistics company wants to track their fleet of delivery vehicles using IoT sensors. They need to store GPS data, process it to detect route deviations, and send alerts to dispatchers. They want to use a cloud service that provides device management, data ingestion, and event processing without building these components from scratch. Which cloud service model is most suitable?

IaaS with virtual machines for each component

SaaS with a generic fleet management application

Community cloud with shared IoT services

PaaS with IoT-specific services for device management and event processing

A logistics company is comparing cloud service models for a new IoT tracking system. They want to rent virtual machines with a specific OS and install their own container runtime, but they do not want to manage the physical servers. Which service model provides this level of control?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

A startup is building a smart-home mobile app. They need to ingest device telemetry, store time-series data, and expose REST APIs for their app. They have a small team and want to focus on application logic rather than managing servers, databases, or scaling infrastructure. Which cloud service model is most appropriate?

Private cloud hosted in their own data center

IaaS with a virtual machine running a custom database and API server

PaaS with a managed time-series database and API gateway

SaaS with a generic IoT dashboard

A healthcare startup is developing an IoT-enabled remote patient monitoring system. They need to process sensitive health data and must comply with data residency regulations that require data to be stored in a specific country. They also need to scale quickly as they onboard new clinics. They have a small team and want to minimize operational overhead. Which cloud strategy best balances compliance and scalability?

IaaS with a virtual machine in a region outside the required country

PaaS in a cloud region located in the required country

Private cloud hosted in their own data center in the required country

SaaS with a global health monitoring platform
