CCSP Exam - Question 168


Which of the following features is a main benefit of PaaS over IaaS?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

One of the main benefits of Platform as a Service (PaaS) over Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the ease of auto-scaling. PaaS provides a managed environment that automatically allocates resources based on demand, allowing applications to scale seamlessly without the need for manual intervention. This enables developers to focus on building and deploying applications, rather than managing the underlying infrastructure, which is a primary advantage of using PaaS.

B: HA is very often native on PaaS where it should implemented in IaaS.

A main benefit of PaaS over IaaS is the ability to focus on building and deploying applications, rather than managing the underlying infrastructure. This is often referred to as "location independence" (A. Location independence), because it allows developers to focus on their code and not on the underlying infrastructure, such as servers, storage, and networking. This can save time and resources and enable developers to be more productive.

Location Independence is something you will definitely not get with IaaS. you can auto-scale in IaaS based on how you setup the systems, In PaaS coders only have to focus on building the application rather than thinking about the location cz the Could provider will take care of the underlining infrastructure.

PaaS platforms are designed to streamline application development and management, and one of their standout features is built-in auto-scaling. This means your application can automatically adjust resource allocation in response to demand, without you having to manually configure scaling rules as you would with IaaS. This abstraction lets developers focus on code and business logic, leaving the heavy lifting of resource management to the platform.
