A company wants to deploy a cloud-based email and collaboration suite. They have a small IT team that can manage servers but prefers not to. They also need to comply with data residency requirements that require data to be stored in a specific country. Which approach is most appropriate?

Use SaaS such as Microsoft 365, choosing a data center region that meets the residency requirement.

Use IaaS to deploy their own email server in the required country.

Use PaaS to build a custom email system in the required country.

Use any cloud service, because data residency is not a concern.

A company runs a batch processing workload that runs for a few hours each night. They want to move it to the cloud to avoid purchasing new hardware. The workload requires a specific OS version and custom libraries. They are considering IaaS and PaaS. What is the most important factor in choosing IaaS over PaaS?

PaaS does not support batch processing workloads.

IaaS provides the ability to use a custom OS image and install custom libraries.

IaaS does not require any management.

IaaS is always cheaper than PaaS for any workload.

A company needs to migrate its existing on-premises virtual machines to the cloud with minimal changes to the operating system and applications. Which cloud service model is most appropriate?

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

A company is migrating a legacy line-of-business application to the cloud. The application requires a specific Windows Server version, a custom database configuration, and a static IP address. The IT team wants to minimize the effort of managing the OS, but the application's requirements prevent using a fully managed platform. Which approach best balances control and management effort?

Use FaaS to run the application as serverless functions

Use SaaS by finding a cloud version of the application

Use IaaS with a pre-configured Windows Server image and manage the OS yourself

Use PaaS with a managed database service
