Exam MS-900 topic 1 question 74 discussion

Shouldn't it be SaaS, SaaS, IaaS?

Power apps is SaaS. Just check the link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/transform-infopath#key-advantages-of-power-apps-over-infopath

Here's how the Microsoft 365 services align with the cloud service models: - Power Apps - PaaS (Platform as a Service) - Microsoft 365 apps - SaaS (Software as a Service) - Azure virtual machines - IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) Here's the reasoning: Power Apps (PaaS): It allows users to create and customize applications tailored to their business needs. Users can build apps using a range of tools and services provided by Microsoft, which means they are leveraging a platform for app development rather than just using a finished software application. Microsoft 365 apps (SaaS): These are fully functional software applications like Word, Excel, and Outlook that users access and use directly without any customization or development. In summary, Power Apps focuses on application development and customization, which aligns with the characteristics of PaaS.

Microsoft Power Apps is primarily considered a Platform as a Service (PaaS) rather than Software as a Service (SaaS). This is because it allows users to create custom applications using a low-code platform, which provides the tools and infrastructure necessary for development. Users can build, customize, and manage apps according to their specific needs, making it a platform for development rather than just a ready-made software product like SaaS offerings.

It is correct: Power Apps is classified as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) because it provides a platform for users to create and customize business applications without the need for extensive coding knowledge. This means that users can leverage the underlying infrastructure and development tools provided by the platform to build and deploy their own applications, making it a PaaS model.

Power Apps: Paas Microsoft 365 Apps:SAAS Virutual Machine: IAAS

Power Apps é um serviço de PaaS (Plataforma como Serviço) que oferece uma plataforma para o desenvolvimento de aplicativos sem a necessidade de gerenciar a infraestrutura subjacente. Microsoft 365 Apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) representa um exemplo de SaaS (Software como Serviço), fornecendo aplicativos prontos para uso diretamente aos usuários finais, sem a necessidade de gerenciar a infraestrutura. Azure Virtual Machines é classificado como IaaS (Infraestrutura como Serviço), pois oferece a infraestrutura de máquinas virtuais, permitindo que os usuários gerenciem o sistema operacional, aplicativos e configurações, proporcionando mais controle sobre a infraestrutura subjacente.

Microsoft Power Apps is a no-code/low-code application development platform that enables users to create custom applications quickly to address specific needs within their organization.

Microsoft Power Platform is an enterprise application SaaS platform that helps support and extend Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure, as well as third-party services and applications.

Thinking in a Microsoft 365 perspective Power Apps is a SaaS because it serves me a rapid low code environment for creating custom apps. When you try to tell MSFT about all you know with Power Apps at a fundamental level, that is when you start seeing a platform in Power Apps which is true but not from a MSFT 365 view.

Sould be SAAS, SAAS and IAAS. Power apps can indeed been seen as SAAS, but also as PAAS. We can create the applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. So that would make it PaaS. But if you see the the information that Microsoft provided it is SAAS: Power Apps is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that's designed to let you quickly build high-functioning apps that you can deploy to the web, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Teams, Power BI, or a mobile device without any extra work. Because you can deploy them by just giving someone the URL to your published app, they're also just as easy to update. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/transform-infopath#key-advantages-of-power-apps-over-infopath

It absolutely boggles my mind how some of this stuff is even debatable. People on here making false statements and confusing everyone that clearly have not had any experience or done any research/learning. It takes two seconds to find the actual answer on Microsoft's documentation. People need to do less posting and more learning Power Apps is SaaS based on Microsoft's on documentation with their own words https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/transform-infopath#key-advantages-of-power-apps-over-infopath
