Free Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question

The correct answer is Platform as a Service (PaaS). PaaS allows developers to focus on writing application code while the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, including servers, storage, and operating systems. This enables the startup to develop, run, and manage their application without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) still requires the management of operating systems and middleware. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully managed applications to end-users, leaving no room for custom application development. Network as a Service (NaaS) provides network services but does not offer a platform for application development.
