Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 98

Which type of database is Azure Database for PostgreSQL?

Answer options

• A. Platform as a service (PaaS)
• B. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
• C. Microsoft SQL Server
• D. on-premises

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Azure Database for PostgreSQL is categorized as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) because it provides a managed database service that handles maintenance, scaling, and backups. The other options, such as IaaS and on-premises, do not fit since they refer to different deployment models, while Microsoft SQL Server is a specific database product, not a classification type.
