Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 115

A customer has a requirement to deploy a cloud service and needs to have full control over the underlying OS, data and applications.
Which cloud model meets this requirement?

Answer options

• A. MaaS
• B. PaaS
• C. SaaS
• D. IaaS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, IaaS, which provides users with virtualized computing resources over the internet, allowing full control over the OS, applications, and data. MaaS, PaaS, and SaaS do not offer the same level of control; MaaS focuses on physical servers, PaaS provides a platform for application development without OS management, and SaaS delivers software applications over the internet without user control over the infrastructure.
