Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Ops is saying, 'We will use the database, but you handle the oil changes.' Provider-managed database services do the backups, patches, and a lot of HA plumbing for you. That is the opposite of wrenching on every VM yourself.
Full Explanation
Provider-managed database services (managed DBaaS) transfer routine engine operations such as patching, automated backups, and often replication/HA configuration to the cloud provider under a shared-responsibility model. Self-managing engines on VMs retains those tasks with the customer. Cloud+ expects candidates to distinguish managed services from self-operated deployments.
