CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 123

A project manager is working with a team that is tasked to develop software applications in a structured environment and host them in a vendor's cloud-based infrastructure. The organization will maintain responsibility for the software but will not manage the underlying server applications. Which of the following does the organization plan to leverage?

Answer options

• A. SaaS
• B. PaaS
• C. IaaS
• D. Hybrid cloud
• E. Network virtualization

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is PaaS (Platform as a Service) because it allows organizations to develop applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. In contrast, SaaS (Software as a Service) involves using software managed by a vendor, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) requires management of servers, and Hybrid cloud and Network virtualization do not specifically address the application development aspect.
