CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 413

An organization developed a containerized application. The organization wants to run the application in the cloud and automatically scale it based on demand. The security operations team would like to use container orchestration but does not want to assume patching responsibilities. Which of the following service models best meets these requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A. PaaS (Platform as a Service) allows developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, including patch management. The other options, such as SaaS, IaaS, and MaaS, do not provide the same level of abstraction and management for container orchestration and automatic scaling, making them less suitable for the organization's needs.
