EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 13

A bricks-and-mortar electronics retailer wants to increase sales by selling products through an online portal in addition stores. To achieve this, they have assembled a team of software developers to build the online portal and the selling capability.
Which cloud service model should they consider to quickly develop this solution?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is PaaS (Platform as a Service), as it provides a platform allowing developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) offers virtualized computing resources but requires more management, while SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers software over the internet without development capabilities. BaaS (Backend as a Service) is more specialized for backend services and may not fit the broader development needs for creating an entire online portal.
