A technician is designing a cloud service solution that will accommodate the company's current size, compute capacity, and storage capacity. Which of the following cloud deployment models will fulfill these requirements?
Correct Answer: C
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides scalable compute power, storage, and networking resources on demand. It is the best choice for a company that needs to customize its cloud solution based on size, compute capacity, and storage needs.
IaaS Benefits:
Provides virtual machines, storage, and networking resources.
Scalable based on company needs.
Reduces the need for physical infrastructure.
Incorrect Options:
A: SaaS (Software as a Service): Delivers software applications (e.g., Google Docs, Microsoft 365) but does not provide compute/storage infrastructure.
B: PaaS (Platform as a Service): Provides a development environment for application deployment but not full infrastructure control.
D: IaC (Infrastructure as Code): A methodology for automating infrastructure, not a cloud deployment model.
