Cloud Computing Fundamentals

Which statement best characterizes the difference in system-administration responsibilities between Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)?

  • A In IaaS, administrators manage virtual machines and operating systems, while in PaaS, they manage application code and configuration.
  • B In IaaS, administrators provision physical servers and storage, while in PaaS. they deploy hypervisors and manage VM infrastructure.
  • C In IaaS, administrators manage applications and runtime environments, while in PaaS. they manage virtual machines and networking services.
  • D In IaaS, administrators configure containers and orchestration tools, while in PaaS. they install operating systems and hardware drivers.
Explanation

IaaS customers administer their virtual machines and operating systems, whereas PaaS abstracts the underlying infrastructure and platform so customers primarily deploy, manage, and configure their application code. Microsoft Learn identifies IaaS customers as responsible for virtual machines and operating systems, while PaaS providers manage the operating system and runtime environment.
