Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Want to ship the grants app without babysitting the web-server OS? That is the PaaS bargain. You bring the code and data; the platform handles the runtime plumbing. Full VM guest-OS care is IaaS instead.
Full Explanation
PaaS provides a managed platform for applications so the provider handles operating system and runtime concerns while customers focus on application code and data. IaaS would still require guest OS and web-server administration. SaaS payroll is a finished business application, not a host for the city’s custom grants app code.
