A . With Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), admins get direct access to VMs, so you can configure and manage the operating system yourself. PaaS usually abstracts that layer away, only letting you work with runtimes or settings for your app. Unless they're asking about control at the app level, A should be right. Anyone disagree?
I don’t think B applies, A gives direct OS control. That’s typically what IaaS is for.
I don’t think it’s A. D since PaaS sometimes lets you tweak OS settings depending on the platform.
A tbh. D is a trap here, since PaaS doesn't give full OS admin rights.
Remembered this from my last practice exam, the answer's A. IaaS lets admins fully manage the OS, whereas PaaS and SaaS abstract that away. Pretty confident on this one but let me know if you think otherwise.
A here. With Infrastructure as a Service you get to manage the OS directly, things like patching or installing services, which admins can't really do in PaaS or SaaS. That's basically the point of IaaS, I think. Somebody correct me if I'm missing an edge case.
A not D. Had something like this in a mock and IaaS was the right pick since it puts OS management in the hands of admins. PaaS doesn't give that kind of low-level access. Pretty sure about this but happy to see if someone disagrees.
A for sure, since IaaS gives you direct access to manage the OS itself, unlike PaaS or SaaS where that's abstracted away. Pretty sure I've seen similar questions in practice tests. Anyone see it differ on the real exam?
Its D. PaaS usually lets you control system settings so seems like the best fit.
Probably D, since in labs PaaS gave admin access to OS configs.
