ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A security architect is advising developers who are rebuilding a trading analytics application in a public cloud. The team wants to simply upload their Java code, pick the desired JDK version, and rely on the provider to maintain the operating system, apply patches, and automatically scale the runtime environment. They still require full control over the application logic and the underlying database schema but do not want to administer any virtual machines. According to the NIST service model taxonomy, which cloud service category best meets these requirements?
The team needs an environment where they can deploy their own application code and manage associated data, while the cloud provider operates and secures the underlying servers, operating system, and scaling mechanisms. This aligns with Platform as a Service (PaaS). In PaaS, the customer controls the applications and data, but the provider manages the OS, middleware, and infrastructure. Infrastructure as a Service would still leave OS installation and patching to the customer, while Software as a Service would not permit control over the application code or database schema. Bare Metal as a Service provides physical servers with even more customer responsibility than IaaS, making it inappropriate here.
