A Chief Information Officer (CIO) wants to implement a cloud solution that will satisfy the following requirements:
✑ Support all phases of the SDLC.
✑ Use tailored website portal software.
✑ Allow the company to build and use its own gateway software.
✑ Utilize its own data management platform.
✑ Continue using agent-based security tools.
Which of the following cloud-computing models should the CIO implement?
To satisfy the requirements outlined by the CIO, the appropriate cloud-computing model is Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). IaaS allows for the highest level of control and flexibility over the underlying infrastructure. It supports all phases of the SDLC by providing virtualized computing resources which can be used to build, deploy, and manage applications. Using tailored website portal software and building custom gateway software necessitates access to the operating system, which IaaS provides. IaaS also allows the company to utilize its own data management platform and to continue using agent-based security tools, which typically require access to the OS level, something which PaaS does not offer.
Because all the requirements want to keep the control of the software. ✑ Support all phases of the SDLC. PaaS (manage data, app) ✑ Use tailored website portal software. PaaS (manage app) ✑ Allow the company to build and use its own gateway software. to build its own gateway "on top".... this is PaaS...the req assumes there's an existing GW but company would rather use theirs ✑ Utilize its own data management platform. PaaS (manage application.) u would manage data from an application interface ✑ Continue using agent-based "security tools" (is an application). The agent based security tools would be on user devices.
As a customer to all these things it would be a PAAS solution(s). As the entity building it all it is an IAAS.
Which would you choose?
D. For a couple of reasons: Allow the company to build and use its own gateway software - there are no PaaS services that will allow you to build your own gateway. You will need OS access to do this. Utilize its own data management PLATFORM - You can't run your own platform on a PLATFORM-as-a-Service solution. Continue using agent-based "security tools" - You can not install agents on PaaS because you do not have access to the OS.
Reviewing this I thought PaaS would satisfy this. Allow the company to build and use its own gateway software is the key requirement that seems to be met that will determine which model to go with. Reviewing ChatGPT and looking at the definition, IaaS seems to be the best
review once again and PaaS provides the platform for a gateway to be created. IaaS does as well but it is more suitable for the management to be support on a PaaS model
PaaS is a cloud computing model that provides a platform for developing, testing, and deploying applications and services. It allows organizations to build, deploy, and manage applications and services without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure, such as servers, storage, and networking. A PaaS solution would allow the company to support all phases of the SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) by providing a platform for developing and testing applications and services. It would also allow the company to use its own data management platform and agent-based security tools, as it would have control over the platform and the ability to customize it as needed. Additionally, a PaaS solution would allow the company to build and use its own gateway software and utilize tailored website portal software, as it would have access to the necessary tools and resources to do so.
Tough cookie here but beanbag did well explaining it Source: Verifying each answer against Chat GPT, my experience, other test banks, a written book, and weighing in the discussion from all users to create a 100% accurate guide for myself before I take the exam. (It isn't easy because of the time needed, but it is doing my diligence)
IaaS offers the highest level of control and flexibility, allowing the organization to support all phases of the SDLC, use tailored software, build and use custom gateway software, utilize its own data management platform, and continue using agent-based security tools. PaaS, while beneficial for accelerating development and providing integrated tools, may impose restrictions on customization and the use of specific security tools and data management platforms.
agent based security = IaaS
Keyword is "agent-based security".
The Key requirement is ✑ Utilize its own data management platform.
You can't install agent based security tools into a PaaS and the question doesn't indicate they are talking about for end users. Servers need security tools as well and you won't be able to install agent based ones on PaaS.
D. IaaS why? IaaS, or Infrastructure-as-a-Service, is the most suitable cloud-computing model for the CIO's requirements. IaaS provides access to virtualized computing resources, such as servers, storage, and networking, which can be used to build, deploy, and manage applications. In addition, IaaS offers the flexibility to use tailored website portal software, build and use its own gateway software, utilize its own data management platform, and continue using agent-based security tools, all while supporting all phases of the SDLC.
sorry I think its PaaS Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a cloud-computing model that allows companies to build, run, and manage applications on a cloud platform. It provides the tools and resources that enable companies to develop, deploy, and customize applications with their own website portal software, gateway software, data management platform, and security tools.
