ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A company wants to migrate its in-house CRM to the cloud. IT leadership says the provider must operate and patch the servers, operating systems, and database engine, but developers still need the ability to upload their own CRM application code, modify the data schema, and use SDKs to build new modules. Which cloud service category best satisfies these requirements?
The scenario calls for a model in which the cloud provider manages the underlying hardware, virtualization layer, operating systems, middleware, and database platform, while the customer remains responsible for deploying and maintaining the application code and its data structures. This division of responsibilities is the hallmark of Platform as a Service (PaaS). In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), the customer would still have to install and maintain the operating system and database software. In Software as a Service (SaaS), the provider would also control the application itself, leaving no ability for the customer to upload custom code. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) delivers virtual desktops, not a development platform for deploying custom server-side applications.
