Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 403

You plan to migrate a web application to Azure. The web application is accessed by external users.
You need to recommend a cloud deployment solution to minimize the amount of administrative effort used to manage the web application.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. Software as a Service (SaaS)
• B. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• C. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• D. Database as a Service (DaaS)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Platform as a Service (PaaS), because it provides a managed environment that reduces the need for administrative tasks such as server maintenance and patching. Options A (SaaS) and D (DaaS) do not directly apply to managing a web application, while C (IaaS) requires more administrative involvement for infrastructure management.
