Which Cloud Model Provides Clients with Servers, Storage, and Networks Only?

Which of the following cloud models provides clients with servers, storage, and networks but nothing else?

A.

SaaS

B.

PaaS

C.

IaaS

D.

DaaS.

C.

The correct answer is C. IaaS, which stands for Infrastructure as a Service.

IaaS is a cloud computing model that provides clients with virtualized computing resources such as servers, storage, networking, and other fundamental computing resources. IaaS providers typically offer a range of infrastructure services, including virtual machines, storage, databases, load balancers, and more.

Unlike SaaS (Software as a Service) or PaaS (Platform as a Service), which provide clients with pre-built software applications or development platforms, IaaS provides clients with a more basic set of building blocks that they can use to create and deploy their own applications.

In an IaaS environment, the client is responsible for managing the operating systems, middleware, and applications running on their infrastructure. This gives clients greater control and flexibility over their computing environment but also requires more technical expertise and resources.

Examples of IaaS providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
