Dell EMC Associate – PowerStore Solutions — Question 16

IaaS abstracts which layer?

Answer options

• A. Storage
• B. Applications
• C. Security
• D. Application Framework

Correct answer: B

Explanation

IaaS, or Infrastructure as a Service, primarily abstracts the physical hardware layer, enabling users to manage virtualized computing resources. Applications, which are typically managed at a higher level in the cloud stack, are not directly abstracted by IaaS. Therefore, option B is the correct answer, while the others pertain to different layers or aspects of cloud service models.
