The Platform as a Service (PaaS) model is primarily designed to provide a platform that supports the development, testing, deployment, and management of applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. It offers developers a comprehensive environment with tools and libraries for application development, database management, and more.
PaaS solutions typically include development frameworks, application hosting, version control, and integration capabilities.
It abstracts the hardware and operating system layer, allowing developers to focus solely on building applications.
PaaS is typically used for creating and managing web or mobile applications efficiently.
Incorrect Options:
B. Local on-premise management of products and services:PaaS is a cloud-based model, not on-premise.
C. Subscription-based pay per use applications:This characteristic aligns more with the Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
D. Control over physical equipment running application developed In-house:This corresponds to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) rather than PaaS.
Exact Extract from CCOA Official Review Manual, 1st Edition:
Refer to Chapter 3, Section "Cloud Service Models", Subsection "Platform as a Service (PaaS)" - PaaS is designed to facilitate efficient application development and management by offering integrated environments for application lifecycle management.
