Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 303

Which of the following service capabilities gives the cloud customer the least amount of control over configurations and deployments?

Answer options

• A. Platform
• B. Infrastructure
• C. Software
• D. Desktop

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Software as a Service (SaaS) model, represented by option C, offers the least control as the vendor manages the entire environment, including the application and its configurations. In contrast, Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) allow for more user customization and control over deployments and configurations. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) also provides more control than SaaS, as it allows users to manage their desktop environment.
