Microsoft 365 Fundamentals MS-900 Practice Question
A development team uses Microsoft Azure SQL Database to host the database for a new application. The team can manage the data and optimize queries, but Microsoft manages the underlying servers, operating systems, patching, and backups. Which cloud service model does this scenario describe?
The correct answer is Platform as a Service (PaaS). In a PaaS model, the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure, including servers, operating systems, and database software, providing a 'platform' for developers to build and run applications without worrying about infrastructure management. Azure SQL Database is a classic example of a PaaS offering. IaaS would require the team to manage the operating system and database software themselves. SaaS refers to fully-formed applications delivered over the internet, like Microsoft 365, not a development platform.
