A project team needs to deploy their custom-developed application to the cloud. They want to focus on developing and managing their application without worrying about managing the underlying hardware and operating systems. However, they still need the ability to customize the runtime environment and utilize specific development tools. Which cloud service model should they choose to meet these requirements?
Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers a cloud environment where developers can build, deploy, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure such as servers, storage, networking, and operating systems. It allows for customization of the runtime environment and provides access to a variety of development tools. This makes it ideal for teams that want to focus on application development while avoiding the complexities of infrastructure management.
Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully developed applications over the internet, and users have little to no control over the underlying platform or application customization.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources over the internet but requires users to manage operating systems and middleware, which the team wants to avoid.
Anything as a Service (XaaS) is a broad term that refers to the delivery of any IT function as a service, which doesn't specifically address the team's needs for application deployment and environment customization.
