A company must choose between IaaS and PaaS for a new application. The team has strong system administration skills but limited developer resources. The application requires custom middleware that is not available as a managed service. Which model should they choose, and why?

IaaS, because it is always cheaper than PaaS

PaaS, because it provides more control over the runtime environment

PaaS, because it reduces management overhead and the provider handles the middleware

IaaS, because it allows full control over the middleware and the team can manage the OS
