CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 500

A technical lead wants to migrate all common business applications, including email and fileshares, to the cloud. Which of the following cloud concepts should be used?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, SaaS (Software as a Service), as it provides software applications over the internet, which is ideal for common business applications like email and file sharing. A is incorrect as MaaS (Monitoring as a Service) does not pertain to application migration. B, PaaS (Platform as a Service), focuses on providing a platform for developers rather than end-user applications. D, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), offers virtualized computing resources but does not directly provide the software applications needed.
