Your company plans to migrate all its data and resources to Azure.

The company's migration plan states that only Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions must be used in Azure.

You need to deploy an Azure environment that meets the company migration plan.

A. B.

A

Azure App Service is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) service. Azure virtual machines are an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) service, and a Paas service.

Therefore, this solution does meet the goal.

Note: Like IaaS, PaaS includes infrastructure"servers, storage, and networking"but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating.

No, this solution does not meet the goal of using only Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions in Azure.

The Azure App Service is a PaaS solution as it allows developers to build, deploy, and scale web apps and APIs without managing the underlying infrastructure. However, deploying Azure virtual machines with Microsoft SQL Server installed is not a PaaS solution, as it requires the management and maintenance of the underlying operating system and database software.

A PaaS solution for a SQL Server database in Azure would be Azure SQL Database, which is a fully managed database service that handles patching, backups, and other database management tasks automatically. This service also offers a range of pricing tiers to suit different workload and performance requirements.

Therefore, to meet the company's migration plan of using only PaaS solutions in Azure, the solution should include the deployment of Azure App Service and Azure SQL Database. This would provide a fully managed and scalable platform for hosting web applications and databases, without the need for managing underlying infrastructure.
