Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 63

Which components typically comprise Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers?

Answer options

• A. Hardware, APIs, and Core Connectivity & Delivery
• B. Integration & Middleware, APIS, and Data
• C. Hardware, APIs, and Data
• D. Presentation modality, APIs, Applications, and Data
• E. Presentation modality, APIs, Applications, and Hardware

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because IaaS primarily includes physical hardware, APIs for interaction, and core connectivity and delivery services. The other options do not accurately represent the essential components of IaaS, as they include elements like middleware or focus on data and applications rather than the foundational infrastructure.
