A Chief Information Officer (CIO) wants to implement a cloud solution that will satisfy the following requirements:
✑ Support all phases of the SDLC.
✑ Use tailored website portal software.
✑ Allow the company to build and use its own gateway software.
✑ Utilize its own data management platform.
✑ Continue using agent-based security tools.
Which of the following cloud-computing models should the CIO implement?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, PaaS, as it provides a platform that allows developers to build, deploy, and manage applications, supporting all phases of the SDLC and allowing for custom development. SaaS (A) delivers software applications over the internet and does not provide the flexibility needed for building custom software. IaaS (D) offers virtualized computing resources but lacks the development framework needed, and MaaS (C) is not a recognized model in this context.
