CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 273

When it comes to cloud computing, if one of the requirements for a project is to have the most control over the systems in the cloud, which of the following is a service model that would be BEST suited for this goal?

Answer options

• A. Infrastructure
• B. Platform
• C. Software
• D. Virtualization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Infrastructure, because it allows users to manage and control the underlying hardware and networking resources. In contrast, Platform (B) and Software (C) models provide less control as they abstract away more of the underlying infrastructure. Virtualization (D) is a technology used within these models but does not represent a service model itself.
