b. grid computing
c. cloud computing
d. infrastructure as a service

Answer 1

The correct answer is option (A).

Pinterest has turned to amazon for storage as a service because it continuously needs a large amount of storage as given in the scenario.

While the other options are not correct because of the following reasons:

• Grid computing can be defined as the concept of connection between a large number of computers in an architectural way who work to obtain the same goal but grid computing can not fulfill the need for storage for Pinterest.

• Cloud computing can work as data storage which can be accessed from the internet anywhere but this can not fulfill the storage requirements for Pinterest as they are very huge.

• Infrastructure as a service is not correct because the need of the company is for storage.
