Azure Storage is a PaaS https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/azure-networking-fundamentals/azure-virtual-network-fundamentals Check Video At 1:14

heh, you even pasted the link... storage is IaaS so the answer is correct https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/what-is-iaas/

Azure Managed Disk is Azure Storage and its IAAS. Not all Azure Storage is PAAS

Even though I feel this way (PaaS) fort storage accounts, Microsoft says it is IAAS, so that should be your viewpoint for testing purposes.

This is from Microsoft Learn : Azure Storage Accounts are primarily associated with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). They provide the necessary management interface for various Azure storage services, allowing users to create and manage storage solutions such as Blob storage and File storage. While they facilitate the management of storage resources, they do not provide the application development platform characteristics typical of Platform as a Service (PaaS). Therefore, Azure Storage Accounts are not classified as PaaS.

A is the correct answer. When using Azure Storage your don't have to worry about the underlying infrastructure, so this means that can't be considered IaaS.

Azure App Service is a PaaS offering that allows you to build and host web applications without worrying about managing the underlying infrastructure. Azure Storage Accounts provide a PaaS solution for data storage that abstracts away the management of storage infrastructure, allowing you to focus on application development. Both services are part of Azure's PaaS offerings SaaS solutions are fully managed software applications provided by a vendor, where the user simply accesses the software over the internet, typically with minimal or no customization. SaaS products where you use the software directly without needing to manage the underlying platform or infrastructure. IaaS solutions in Azure would include Virtual Machines (VMs), Virtual Networks, Load Balancer, Disk Storage. IaaS provides a higher level of infrastructure control, where you manage the operating systems, networking, and often the applications on top of virtualized hardware.

Storage *ACCOUNTS* is SaaS

Server and Storage fall under IAAS. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/cloud-computing-dictionary/what-is-iaas#:~:text=Infrastructure%20as%20a%20service%20(IaaS,systems%2C%20middleware%2C%20and%20applications.

Answer is No IaaS is ideal for organizations that need to run legacy applications or need greater control over their infrastructure. Virtual Machines, Virtual Networks, and some Storage Accounts features are infrastructure as a service offered by Azure. Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. PaaS includes infrastructure " servers, storage, and networking" but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating.

Azure App Service and Azure Storage Accounts are both Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings in Azure: Azure App Service: This is a fully managed PaaS solution that allows you to host web apps, RESTful APIs, and mobile backends without managing the underlying infrastructure. Azure Storage Accounts: While they provide a foundational storage capability, they are classified as a managed service (PaaS) when used for blob storage, queues, and tables, as no server infrastructure management is required. Since both components align with the company’s migration plan of using only PaaS solutions, the proposed solution meets the stated goal.

Azure App Service is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering that enables you to host web applications, RESTful APIs, and mobile back ends. Azure Storage accounts provide scalable and durable cloud storage solutions, which are also PaaS offerings. Since the requirement is to use only PaaS solutions, this deployment aligns with the migration plan.

Yes, this solution meets the goal. Both Azure App Service and Azure Storage are Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings in Azure. Azure App Service allows you to build and host web apps, mobile backends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure. Azure Storage provides scalable, durable, and highly available storage solutions.

I read that Azure Storage Accounts is like a container for multiple storage solutions like blob, disk storage. Disk storage is IAAS. So because Storage Accounts can include IAAS, the answer can not just be yes.

Yes, the solution does meet the goal. Creating an Azure App Service and Azure Storage accounts aligns with the requirement to use only Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions in Azure. Azure App Service is a fully managed PaaS offering for hosting web apps, RESTful APIs, and mobile back ends. Azure Storage provides scalable, durable, and managed cloud storage, which is also considered a PaaS offering. Both of these services are classified as PaaS in Azure, so this configuration meets the company's migration plan of using only PaaS solutions.

Hi all – I changed my mind to YES on this one • Azure App Service is considered an excellent Platform as a Service (PaaS), offering an application platform for developers to build Web, mobile and API applications. • An Azure Storage Account is a container for one of the Azure storage solutions; Azure Disk Storage(IaaS), Azure Blob Storage(PaaS), and Azure File Storage(SaaS).

Azure Storage Accounts can also be used in a PaaS model, providing scalable cloud storage for unstructured data, including blobs, files, and queues, without requiring infrastructure management. Both Azure App Service and Azure Storage are PaaS solutions, aligning with the company's migration plan to use only PaaS solutions in Azure.
