CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 4

The cloud consumer compliance team requires the IT department to patch and update cloud resources properly. Which of the following cloud service delivery models will BEST suit this need?

Answer options

• A. SaaS
• B. DBaaS
• C. DRaaS
• D. IaaS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is the best option because it provides the necessary control over the underlying infrastructure, allowing the IT department to manage patches and updates effectively. In contrast, SaaS (Software as a Service) offers less control over the underlying systems, while DBaaS (Database as a Service) and DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service) are more specialized services that do not provide the same level of infrastructure management.
