Streetlight engineering wants a new internal API for sensor data and prefers managed hosting so developers write code without managing operating systems. Which cloud service type best fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
PaaS is the rented kitchen — you bring the recipe (your API code), and the platform handles the stove and dishes (hosting and OS). The streetlight team still builds a custom app, just without babysitting servers. That is why managed hosting for builders points to PaaS, not SaaS or bare IaaS.
Full Explanation
PaaS offers a managed platform for developing and hosting applications so customers focus on code rather than OS management. A new internal streetlight-sensor API with managed hosting is a PaaS-aligned use case. SaaS is for consuming finished apps, and IaaS still places OS responsibility on the customer.
