CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 62

A Chief Information Officer (CIO) wants to move some IT services to a cloud service offering. However, the network administrator still wants to be able to control some parts of the cloud service's networking components. Which of the following should be leveraged to complete this task?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

PaaS (Platform as a Service) allows users to manage applications and control networking components while utilizing the underlying infrastructure provided by the cloud service. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) primarily offers virtualized hardware, SaaS (Software as a Service) provides complete software solutions without control over network components, and DaaS (Desktop as a Service) focuses on delivering virtual desktops, which does not provide the required control.
