CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 277

A company that requires full administrative control at the OS level is considering the use of public cloud services. Which of the following service models would BEST fit the company's requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best fit for a company requiring full administrative control at the OS level is IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), as it provides the most control over the computing resources. SaaS (Software as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) do not allow for such extensive management of the operating system, while DBaaS (Database as a Service) focuses specifically on database management rather than OS control.
