Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 157

An organization wants to lease the resources they need for their customized servers from a cloud provider on a pay-as-you-go basis, instead of paying one time for hardware.

Which service model should they use?

Answer options

• A. Hybrid cloud
• B. Software as a service
• C. Infrastructure as a service
• D. Platform as a service

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Infrastructure as a service, because it allows organizations to lease computing resources on a flexible, pay-as-you-go basis. Options A, B, and D do not provide the same level of resource leasing; Hybrid cloud combines private and public clouds, Software as a service delivers software over the internet without hardware leasing, and Platform as a service offers a platform for application development rather than server resources.
