Question

your organization purchased a subscription to microsoft 365 for all its employees. which cloud service model did your organization adopt?
a saas
b iaas
c paas
d caas

Explanation:

• SaaS (Software as a Service): In this model, software applications are hosted by a third - party provider and made available to customers over the Internet. Microsoft 365 is a suite of software applications (e.g., Word, Excel, Outlook) that are accessed via a subscription. Customers do not need to install and maintain the software on their own servers.
• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): This provides virtualized computing resources over the Internet, such as servers, storage, and networking. The customer has more control over the infrastructure (e.g., installing operating systems, applications) compared to SaaS. Microsoft 365 is not just about providing infrastructure.
• PaaS (Platform as a Service): Offers a platform for developers to build, test, and deploy applications. It includes tools like development environments, databases, and middleware. Microsoft 365 is not a platform for application development in the traditional PaaS sense.
• CaaS (Communication as a Service): Focuses on providing communication - related services (e.g., voice, video conferencing). While Microsoft 365 has communication features (e.g., Teams), it is a broader software suite.

Answer:

A. SaaS
