Which of the following cloud services is most likely to be purchased and then used to later install your own software applications?
- IaaS
- PaaS
- SaaS
- SLBaaS
Explanation: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) supplies one or more working virtual machines (VMs), optionally with an OS installed, as a place where you can then customize the systems by installing your own applications.
Software as a Service (SaaS) supplies a predefined software application, but typically with no ability to then later install your own applications. Platform as a Service (PaaS) could be used to install your own application, because PaaS does supply one or more VMs, but it is most likely used as a software development environment, a service designed specifically to be used for development, with VMs that include various tools that are useful for software development. Finally, Server Load Balancing as a Service (SLBaaS) can be offered as a cloud service, but it is not a general service in which customers get access to VMs on which they can then install their own applications.
