Public works needs the same custom Windows Server and IIS configuration it runs on-premises, with full guest OS control in Azure. Which hosting option best matches that requirement?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the team must keep a custom OS and IIS setup like the basement server room, that is VM territory — full guest control. App Service softens the OS layer; DNS and tables are not web servers. Control of the guest OS equals VMs here.
Full Explanation
Virtual machines are the IaaS hosting option when organizations need control over the guest operating system and software stack, including custom IIS configurations lifted from on-premises. Managed web apps reduce OS responsibility; DNS and table storage do not provide that guest OS hosting model.
