Question

Cloud:

Which cloud service model allows its consumer to access applications running in the cloud infrastructure, but does NOT enable the consumer to manage the cloud infrastructure, or configure the applications?
A) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
B) Platform as a Service (PaaS)
C) Software as a Service (SaaS)
D) Function as a Service (FaaS)

Answer 1

The cloud service model that grants access to applications without management or configuration capabilities by the consumer is Software as a Service (SaaS) (Option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

The cloud service model that allows consumers to access applications running on a cloud infrastructure, but does not enable the consumer to manage the cloud infrastructure or configure the applications, is Software as a Service (SaaS). In the SaaS model, applications are hosted by a service provider and made available to customers over the Internet. Users simply access these applications using a web browser or app without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, maintenance, or app configuration.

Examples of SaaS include web-based email services, customer relationship management (CRM) software, and collaboration tools.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Answer 2

The correct cloud service model is Software as a Service (SaaS), which allows users to access and use applications without managing the underlying infrastructure or configurations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cloud service model that allows consumers to access applications running in the cloud infrastructure without giving them the ability to manage the cloud infrastructure, or configure the applications is Software as a Service (SaaS). In this service model, consumers use the provider's applications running on a cloud infrastructure.

The applications are accessible from various client devices through either a thin client interface, such as a web browser, or a program interface. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure, including the network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings.
