CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 190

A technician needs to implement a database in the cloud but does not want to manage any server infrastructure. Which of the following solutions would BEST meet this requirement?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is DaaS (Database as a Service), as it provides a managed database solution with no infrastructure management required. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) involves managing virtual machines, which is contrary to the requirement. PaaS (Platform as a Service) offers a platform but may still require some level of server management. SaaS (Software as a Service) refers to software applications rather than database solutions.
