Certified Cloud Security Engineer (CCSE) — Question 8

CyTech Private Ltd. is an IT company located in Jacksonville, Florida. The organization would like to eliminate a single point of failure; therefore, in 2017, the organization adopted a cloud computing service model in which the cloud service provider completely handles the failover. CyTech Private Ltd. added automated failover capabilities to its cloud environment and it has been testing the functionality to ensure that it is working efficiently. In which of the following cloud computing service models, failover is completely handled by the cloud service provider?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is PaaS (Platform as a Service) because it provides a complete environment for developers, including automated failover managed by the provider. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) requires users to manage their own infrastructure, while SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers software applications over the internet but does not primarily focus on failover management. DaaS (Desktop as a Service) is specific to virtual desktops and also does not indicate provider-managed failover.
