CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 371

An organization is developing a new solution for hosting an external website. The systems administrator needs the ability to manage the OS. Which of the following methods would be MOST suitable to achieve this objective?

Answer options

• A. Deploy web servers into an IaaS provider.
• B. Implement a cloud-based VDI solution.
• C. Provision web servers in a container environment.
• D. Use PaaS components in the cloud to implement the product.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using an IaaS provider allows full control over the operating system, enabling the administrator to manage it directly. Options B, C, and D do not provide the same level of OS management; VDI solutions typically focus on desktop virtualization, container environments abstract OS management, and PaaS components handle applications without OS control.
