CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 16

Which of the following service models would be used for a database in the cloud?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

PaaS, or Platform as a Service, is designed to provide a platform for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications, which includes database services. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) focuses on virtualized computing resources, CaaS (Container as a Service) pertains to container management, and SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers software applications over the internet but does not specifically address database management.
