CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 692

A network engineer is provisioning a new Linux server in a public cloud. Which of the following types of cloud service should be utilized?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A. PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a platform allowing developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. The other options, such as SaaS (Software as a Service), focus on delivering software applications, DaaS (Desktop as a Service) pertains to virtual desktops, and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) offers raw infrastructure resources, which may not be as suitable for provisioning a Linux server.
