Exam AZ-900 topic 1 question 45 discussion

I don't understand the response to this question, why it is PaaS and not SaaS?

A is wrong because SaaS isn't ment to manage web applications, SaaS is just a software, like S4B. C Is wrong because IaaS is the cloud solution with the highest administrative effort (Like virtual machines) D Is wrong, databases are ment to store data ecc...

It cannot be Saas as Saas would mean you're using a pre-built application provided by a third party (e.g., Office 365, Gmail). You must migrate your web application to Azure, so Azure web service is the right tool which you can administrate. Don’t get confuse with the accessed by external users. It does not mean anything. It’s also ambiguous to people. Some were thinking about administrate from outside while it just simply said accessed by external users which means users. The Key is you must migrate your web app to Azure.

PaaS (B), such as Azure App Service, provides a fully managed environment for deploying web applications without worrying about infrastructure.

paas App Service is a PaaS offering. This means Microsoft manages the underlying infrastructure (servers, operating systems, patching, etc.). You only focus on deploying and managing your application code. This drastically reduces administrative overhead.

SaaS is the answer. Because PaaS is more with config and administration

PaaS as it dose not eliminate the administration completely.

Even Functions are classifed as PaaS not SaaS

tricky question - "minimize administrative effort" could also mean zero admin effort at all

The best option would be B. Platform as a Service (PaaS). PaaS provides a platform with a runtime environment for applications. It includes infrastructure, middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, etc. The advantage of PaaS is that it allows developers to focus on coding the application without worrying about infrastructure management. This can significantly reduce the administrative effort needed to manage the web application. Please note that while SaaS, IaaS, and DaaS also provide cloud services, they don’t offer the same level of management ease for a web application as PaaS does. SaaS is typically end-user applications run by third-party providers. IaaS provides only the base infrastructure, and DaaS is specifically for databases.

i think this is it

Catch word is "migrate" meaning you will not be using Azure application, you'll use Azure platform to deploy your application. Its your web application and you are not buying this web application from Azure, hence,its definitely not SAAS. Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering that lets you create web and mobile apps for any platform or device and connect to data anywhere, in the cloud or on-premises.

B. PaaS.

"Manage Web App"....Very simple to know SaaS is not the solution. With SaaS, App is managed by cloud provider/Vendor. With PaaS, its just App and Data you manage. So best solution. Less administrative effort compared to IaaS where you have to manage the middleware as well.
