Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 70
The cloud customer will have the most control of their data and systems, and the cloud provider will have the least amount of responsibility, in which cloud computing arrangement?
Answer options
- A. IaaS
- B. SaaS
- C. Community cloud
- D. PaaS
Correct answer: A
Explanation
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides the most control to the customer, allowing them to manage their own systems and data while the provider only manages the underlying infrastructure. In contrast, SaaS (Software as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) offer less control as they manage more of the software and platform layers, respectively. A Community cloud also does not provide the same level of individual control as IaaS.
