A development team wants to run its application in a way that the provider handles system updates and resource scaling, leaving the team free to manage application code and libraries. Which service model best meets these requirements?
An application consumption model where end users interact with a hosted tool through a browser
A provider-managed environment that allows streamlined code deployment and handles system updates
A function-based approach that triggers application code whenever an event occurs
A customized environment that includes wide control over virtual machines and network configurations
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is the correct model because the provider manages the underlying platform, including system updates and scaling, which allows the development team to focus solely on their application code and data.
An environment with wide control over virtual machines and networks describes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which would require the team to manage the OS and scaling.
An application consumption model for end-users describes Software as a Service (SaaS), which does not allow for deploying custom application code.
A function-based, event-triggered approach describes Function as a Service (FaaS), which is designed for stateless, short-running tasks rather than continuously running applications.
