Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 52

Each of the three cloud service models - infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) - offers benefits between flexibility and levels of management by the cloud provider and the customer.
Why would SaaS be the right choice of service model?

Answer options

• A. You want a balance between flexibility for the customer and the level of management by the cloud provider
• B. You want to minimize the level of management by the customer
• C. You want to maximize flexibility for the customer.
• D. You want to be able to shift your emphasis between flexibility and management by the cloud provider as business needs change

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because SaaS is designed to minimize the customer's management burden, allowing them to focus on usage rather than maintenance. Options A, C, and D do not accurately represent the primary benefit of SaaS, which is the reduction of customer management responsibilities.
