Because seems that storage account it's not paas

Again: For the Exam- Whenever a question contains the words "AZURE Virtual machine" we are talking about IaaS. (not to be confused with plain VMs) A- Contains Azure virtual machines and Azure Storage accounts which are only found in Iaas B- Contain "Azure virtual machines". End of - this is IaaS D-Contain Azure storage accounts and Azure virtual machines. This is Iaas So this leaves C: n Azure App Service and Azure SQL databases.

Process of elimination. A, B, and D have VM's as an option (which is IAAS), so the logical answer is C.

Process of elimination. All the other options have virtual machine as part of the answer, which is clearly IAAS

B is a good option but C is the correct option in case of any doubt.

Correct is C ,, you don't need a VM for storing data(b)

This link is great to understand which Azure services fall under which category. Answer is straightforward for this one - C

Why is this not A? The question states "You need to DEPLOY an Azure environment", so you need to create a brand new Azure environment for the company's data and resources. In that case would you not have to CREATE a VM, SQL database and storage accounts to prepare for the company's data and resources to be moved? And only after creating the VM, sure the VM is managed by Azure since company wants a PaaS solution (but again, no mention of who is managing the resources)

Azure SQL databases is a Azure PaaS

On question 42 they give the same option B (Azure App Service and Azure VM that have Microsoft SQL Server installed) and they consider it as meeting the goal for PaaS solution. So confusing.

C is correct

C. an Azure App Service and Azure SQL databases.

Azure App Service and Azure SQL databases are examples of Azure PaaS solutions

In some cases PaaS includes IaaS. PaaS can be offered on a VM with preinstalled software. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/cloud-computing-dictionary/what-is-paas/
